DailyCelestialChallange: Tuesday- Animal Kingdom
Eagle
An eagle can be described with three words: beauty, majesty and power. Undoubtedly this bird of prey is one of the most known and admired animals of nature.
They have a powerful peak that is curved and sharp at the tip, but straight at its base. In this way they can crush and tear the meat with which it feeds.
The talons of the eagles are among the most powerful that exist in nature. With them they not only manage to cause serious damage to their prey, but they can also grab them and take flight.
Among the qualities of the eagle we find the vision of these birds of prey is extraordinary. Their eyes are somewhat larger than those of humans, but instead, they can see almost 4 times more and better. They can see a moving dam 2 kilometers away.
The eagles are birds of prey of great size and heavy beak and head. In all types of eagle, the females are larger than the males.
Eagles are animals that keep their partner. That is, year after year they stay together. Similarly, they return to their nest each season.
Types of eagles
There are many kinds, species or types of eagles, of which the best known are the golden eagle and the bald eagle. But let's see a short description of the main ones:
- Golden Eagle
The golden eagle is one of the most popular birds of prey and recognized in virtually the entire world.
- Bald eagle
The bald eagle is perhaps the most mediatic of these birds. This is because in the US It is taken as an icon of freedom and strength.
- Imperial Eagle
There are two distinct types: the Iberian imperial eagle, found in Portugal, Spain and certain parts of Morocco; and the eastern imperial eagle, which inhabits most of Asia, eastern Europe; and also when they emigrate in East Africa.
- Harpy eagle
The harpy eagle is considered a neo-tropical species. In some countries it is called the American harpy eagle.
- Crowned eagle
The crowned eagle is a type of raptor that lives mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. That is, in the countries south of the Sahara desert.
The eagles, on the other hand, fly at more than 130 kilometers per hour. Job compared the speed with which life goes by with the speed of the eagle when it is launched on its prey (Job 9:25, 26). The forces that GOD grants us to for follow.
During its flight, this bird takes advantage of the thermal currents, or currents of hot air in ascent. Flying in circles within the stream, it is gaining more and more altitude. When you reach a certain height, plan to find a new stream. It can remain in the air for hours almost without consuming energy. The eagle "builds its nest on high", in inaccessible places, where its chicks are not in danger.
Jehovah causes the eagle to behave in this way, driven by his instinct. With the vision that he has given him, "far in the distance his eyes keep looking".
Its ability to quickly adjust the focus of objects allows it to hold a prey or a corpse in view during the long dive. The eagle sometimes feeds on carrion, hence "where are those who have been killed, there she is". In addition, he captures small animals and takes them to his chicks.
Isaiah 40:31.
