Amazing Right? Eagles may hunt down and soar away with a young deer.
Eagles are apex predators, which means they dwell at the top of the food chain in their environment. To live at the top of the food chain, they must clearly be rather large and powerful, powerful enough to transport any prey they hunt down to a more convenient area where they may securely feast on it. Eagles can carry a maximum of four to five pounds, while young deer, known as fawns or calves, weigh four to eight pounds. Do I need to say more? Never undervalue an eagle!
