Eagles above Klebang Land |
The Klebang Eagles are called "Reddish-Brown Eagle" or "Brahming Kite". Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with heavy heads and beaks. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong, muscular legs, and powerful talons. Eagles' eyes are extremely powerful. It is estimated eagles have a visual acuity up to 8 times that of humans. This acuity enables eagles to spot prey from far away. This sharp eyesight is because they have extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. Eagles normally build their nests in tall trees or on high cliffs. Most of them lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick often kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. The parents take no action to stop the killing. The Klebang eagles prefer to capture fish from the sea.But small land animals are also part of their diet. Most eagles grab prey without landing and fly away with it, so the prey can be carried to a perch and torn apart. |
