The bald eagle, a powerful apex predator, is an iconic symbol of North America. As Canada's largest bird of prey, this majestic creature commands respect with its impressive size, reaching over two meters in wingspan and weighing up to seven kilograms. Its distinctive appearance, featuring a white head, yellow beak, and sharp talons, has made it a revered emblem.
