🦅 The Sky’s Sovereign
The Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax) is instantly recognisable by its distinct tail, immense wingspan, and commanding presence.
As Australia’s largest bird of prey — and one of the world’s biggest eagles — it:
• Reaches over a metre in height
• Has a wingspan up to 2.2 metres
• Weighs up to 5 kilograms
• Soars effortlessly using thermal currents
• Hunts small mammals and carrion with precision
In the wild, the eagle averages a lifespan of 6 years, while in captivity it may live for more than 25 years.
This majestic species is a symbol of freedom, power, and the expansive Australian sky.
