In what ways is the eagle's body built for survival?
The eagle's body is strong. Their muscles are well developed for flying. The
body also has hollow bones, so the eagle is not as heavy and can fly faster.
The bones have braces inside of them so they are still strong. They can get
in the air quickly and fly easily because their skeleton doesn't weigh so
much.
