The Bald Eagle can see eight times better than a human can. It uses that sight to spot prey from a far distance or camouflaged. It has a bony overhang above its eyes which is used to protect its eyes from the suns rays and sometimes injuries. The bald eagle also has sharp talons to help it grip fish while flying. They live in the tree tops, away from bigger predators on the forest floor.
