Bald eagles are carnivores, and as I explored in another recent video , they sustain themselves on a steady diet of fish, the meat of a variety of animals that they prey on, and the carrion that they scavenge. Eagles use their long, sharp talons while hunting their food in order to hold on to sometimes very slippery meals and to help tear it apart while eating it. They also use their talons as weapons to defend themselves from a potential threat, as well as fighting with rival eagles…sometimes to the death!
The oldest wild eagle on record is about 32 years of age. It can live up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision. Talons and the beak are made out of keratin, the same material as our fingernails. Think about how long it takes for your nails to grow. It has this distinctive hooked beak throughout its life, like all birds of prey. No eagle can survive without a beak or talons for any amount of time. The process is called molting. An eagle does not lose all of its feathers at one time.
