IMPERIAL EAGLE BY ALBERT ABELLA
The iberic imperial eagle its a bird of prey daytime, large 72-83cm, very circumspect view, strong muscles and very fast flight. Its color is dark brown. It weighs 2400-3200g males and females 2900-4000g. Their size is 200cm males and females dimension: 220cm. In Spain there are 150 couples of iberic imperial eagle.
This specie is located almost exclusively in the Iberian peninsula, where dwells all year, defending his territory with great zeal. Their habitats are suitable areas of the forest esclerófilo typically Mediterranean, where they mingle scrub, grasslands and streams. The eagles built nests in the crown of cork and pine, in places difficult to access.They feed mainly on rabbits and hares.
Youngest copies can be captured by other birds of prey and foxes. The alarming decline in population is due, however, only to human beings illegally causes, like electrocution, conversion of forest areas in irrigation areas; excessive employment of pesticides, and so on. To prevent the extinction of imperial eagle, breeding centers in captivity are being created. In addiation to the habitats where imperial eagles live, there are many protected parks.
To sum up, this is what we must do to increase the population of imperial eagles.
