  2. The largest raptor in the world and one of the most beautiful. The female Wedge-tailed Eagle is much larger than the male, averaging around 4.2 kg (9.3 lbs) and sometimes over 5.5 kg (12 lbs). Males are around 3.2–4 kg (7–8.8 lbs). Length varies between 0.9 metres (36 in) and 1.15 meters (45 in), wingspan between 1.3 meters (71 in) and 2.5 meters (99 in). There are reports of wingspans reaching 3 meters in some specimens.

    This one is tame/captive. You can tell by the band around its ankle.

  3. More of them die by Roadkill than by any other means. They tend to land to eat the kangaroos and wallabies that get hit by heavy trucks in the middle of the road and simply can’t get back in to the air in time to get out of the way of the next one.

    The things take a good 30 seconds to get into the air! Heavy beasties.
