| Common Name(s): | Osprey, Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle | |
| Other Name(s): | Fish Hawk | |
| Scientific Name(s): | Pandion haliaetus, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, Aquila chrysaetos | |
| Physical Description: | Very large dark brown eagle with a golden sheen, long heavy wings, a large hooked bill and leg feathers descend all the way to their sharp talons. Females are larger than males and immature eagles often have white on their wings. | |
| Physical Statistics: | Length: 70-84 cm (28-33 in); Wingspan: 185-220 cm (73-87 in); Weight: 3000-6125 g (105.9-216.21 ounces) | |
| Behavior: | The golden eagle generally prefers open areas, especially in hilly or mountainous areas but prefers to nest on cliffs or in trees. They prey on anything from the size of prairie dogs and rabbits to lambs. | |
| Social Organization: | Solitary or breeding pairs and their chicks. | |
| Danger Level: | High (All clan members are vulnerable); an eagle can easily carry off a full grown cat. | |
| Approval Level*: | Moderator; Approval is needed for attacks by Golden Eagles on cats because if an eagle attacks, it means that the eagles are having trouble finding food and multiple attacks could be expected. | |
| *Some creatures require approval to appear in RP. This is to make sure the Admins and Mods who need to know are fully aware of a beast currently active in their area. These ratings are mainly for those creatures that cats cannot simply drive off. | ||
