Description
American Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is a large fierce looking bird. It's name in Latin means "the sea eagle with a white head". It is the national symbol of the United States of America.
The Bald Eagle generally lives forty-five to fifty years in captivity and twenty-five years in the wild. It is one of the largest flying birds seen in the United States. It stands between 30.4 and 36.4 inches tall, or about as high as an average office desk. It has a five and a half to eight foot wing span. That's about as long as a big dining room table. Like many raptors it has an unusual trait that is called "reversed sexual dimorphism". This means that the female Bald Eagle is generally bigger than the male.
