parts of the world. Bald eagles live in warm and cold

places like Alaska! They also live in deserts, rainforests

and woodlands. They live in Alaska that is part of the

polar rejoin. Bald eagles live in nest and the nest is in

trees. The nest can weigh up to two tons and a new

nest that is four feet (1.2 meters) high and 5 feet

Bald eagles live in the Arctic. The Arctic is the north

pole. I hope you liked learning about how a bald eagle

lives in the second coldest place on earth.

HABITAT

The bald eagle has a special polar diet. A bald eagle

is an omnivore. A bald eagle eats fish, rabbits, birds,

moss and small animals. Bald eagles sit in a tree and

swoop down and gets its food with it’s strong talons.

Bald eagles do not have any natural predators in the

wild. The bald eagle is almost extinct because it ate

chemicals called DT that was in the fish. This

interferes with making their eggs. When they try to

incubate the eggs the shells break. The bald eagle

has an amazing diet in the wild.

A bald eagle’s appearance is very unique. A bald

eagle can weight up to 4 to 15 pounds. That is

the same as 2-7 kilograms. This polar animal

has strong talons. It has a white head. The bald

eagle has black and brown feathers. Bald eagles

have a curved beak to help them eat and catch

fish. The way the feathers are, helps to protect

them in the wind. A bald eagle’s appearance is

very distinctive when you think about it.
