Cat Given Name: Eagle
Common Name(s): Osprey,  Bald Eagle,  Golden Eagle
Other Name(s): Fish Hawk
Scientific Name(s): Pandion haliaetus,  Haliaeetus leucocephalus,  Aquila chrysaetos
Physical Description: A large black and white bird-of-prey with a distinctive 'fingered' wing silhouette.
Physical Statistics: Length: 21-26 Inches (53-66 Centimeters)
Weight: 2.2-4 Pounds (1-2 Kilograms)
Wingspan: 59-67 Inches (1.4-1.7 Meters)
Behavior: A diurnal bird-of-prey found near bodies of water. Feeds nearly exclusively on fish.
Social Organization: Generally solitary except during the mating season. Where prey numbers support it, they may nest together in loose colony-like groups.
Danger Level: Low (Kits and smaller cats are vulnerable); Attacks are nearly unknown unless fish is scarce
Approval Level*: Moderator; Approval is only needed if the Osprey attacks a cat, as attacks indicate extreme fish shortage in the area.
*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.
