White-Tailed Eagle

The white-tailed eagle is a majestic bird of prey, recognized for its broad wings and distinctive white tail feathers. These powerful hunters are often called "kings of the skies" due to their impressive size and commanding presence. They inhabit coastal areas and large lakes, where they soar effortlessly, scanning the water for fish.

At the zoo, white-tailed eagles captivate visitors with their piercing gaze and graceful flight. Behind the scenes, their care involves maintaining spacious enclosures that allow for flight and providing a varied diet of fish, small mammals, and birds. Zookeepers also engage them with environmental enrichment, such as perching opportunities at different heights and food challenges that encourage natural hunting behaviors. Educational displays highlight their critical role in ecosystems and conservation efforts aimed at protecting these incredible birds.
