Golden Eagle

File:Steinadler Aquila chrysaetos closeup1 Richard Bartz.jpg

The golden eagle (Aquila chysaetos) is a predator common to the northern hemisphere. It lives in taiga, but not exclusively. They are highly territorial, and have been known to control areas 60 square miles in area.  About 90 percent of their diet consists of mammals, such as rabbits, ground squirrels and prairie dogs. However, their feeding varies greatly depending on the region.
