Question: In what ways is the eagle built for survival?

The eagles eyes blink often to allow for steady vision and a good flight.
We think they have clear eyelids that they can see through when they dive
into the water.

The bald eagle has acid in their stomachs. The acid protects them from
getting sick when they eat animals that are already dead.

The talons are shaped to be able to carry things and to slice and rip into
food.

The tail helps balance the eagle when it is flying.

The beak is sharp and strong to rip flesh and eat frozen road kill.
