Topic: Verreauxs Eagle


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Encyclopedia: Eagle
Eagles are large birds of prey, which are found mainly in the Old World, with only two species (Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle) in North America, a few in South America and two (White-bellied Sea Eagle and Wedge-tailed Eagle) in Australia.
The eagle is also part of the coat of arms of Romania and the coat of arms and flag of Moldova.
Although the Golden Eagle is found in North America, U.S. references to an unspecified "eagle" are often to the Bald Eagle; this point was not realized by a USA coin die engraver, who, told to depict "an eagle", depicted a Golden Eagle; this error is the cause of the expression "illegal eagle".
