Habitat: Amazon River grasslands
Reaching 7 feet in height, it possesses a pair of degraded, clawed wings that are not primarily used for flying, but run at speeds of up to 40 mph, which makes it a potent predator in the Amazon River grasslands.
Chinese name: Great Crested Vulture
Native name: Serpent Eagle
Scientific name: Spilornis cheela
Colonial name: Crested Serpent Eagle
Family: Vulture Hawk
Habitat: Medium- to low-elevation mountainous areas
Adults grow to be approximately 70 to 75 centimeters long. 75 centimeters
The Great Crested Vulture is known as the Snake Eater or Snake Hawk in Taiwan. But in its bird form, the name snake eagle would be more appropriate.
The Great Crested Vulture in Taiwan is an endemic subspecies in Taiwan and is a widespread resident bird. It is widely distributed in the middle and low altitude mountainous areas of the island, and has been observed at an altitude of 2,300 meters in Alishan. It often roosts in cleared mountainous areas or forests, or stands in high trees with good visibility, waiting for prey to appear.
One or two vultures are more common, and occasionally they fly in groups of three or five. Tea gardens, vegetable gardens, and open areas along the edges of forests in mountainous regions are the best hunting grounds for these vultures. The Great Crested Vulture is a typical eagle in that it has a large body and long, broad wings, and usually relies on thermals to fly.
But because of its flight dexterity, it is often chased by smaller birds, such as crows or ravens, even though it is called a raptor.
The eagle is the world's longest-lived bird.
It can live to be 70 years old.
To live that long, it has to make difficult but important decisions at age 40.
When an eagle reaches 40 years old, its talons begin to age and it is unable to grip its prey effectively. Its beak becomes long and curved, almost touching its chest. Its wings become very heavy as its feathers grow thick and heavy, making it very hard to fly.
It had only two choices: to die, or to go through a very painful process of renewal.
150 long days of maneuvers.
It has to fly very hard to get to the top of the mountain.
Nest on a cliff. Stays there and must not fly.
The eagle first strikes the rock with its beak until it is completely dislodged. Then it waits quietly for a new beak to grow.
With the new beak, it pulls out the nails one by one.
When the new nails grow out, they pull out the feathers one by one.
After 5 months, new feathers grow out.
The eagles began to fly. Again, they were able to live another 30 years!

This question can be raised I think you meant to ask about eagle habitats, right? There are many types of eagles and different habitats, so there is no way to answer this question. The eagle belongs to the falconiform order and first appeared in the early Tertiary period, 75 million years ago, and is one of the oldest species of present-day birds, which can be broadly categorized into buzzards, eagles, hawks, falcons, and so on. Characterized as: diurnal birds, most daytime activities and foraging; wings long and pointed, rapid flight, most species are good at soaring in the air; usually perched in high trees or rocky cliffs, waiting for an opportunity to hunt for food.
The vulture is a huge species in the hawk family, there are 27 species in the world, and there are five species in China, they are vultures, vultures, vultures, vultures, vultures, vultures and black vultures, of which the vultures and vultures are endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. Vultures are a special group of all raptors that feed mainly on animal carcasses. Due to long-term carcass eating, the hooked beak used for tearing animals, developed exceptionally strong and hard, even if the thick skin of dead elephants they can struggle to tear open, dragging out the entrails and then swallowed; due to the fact that they are no longer feeding activities, their claws and feet have been greatly degraded, the feet are large and feeble, the toes are straight and thick, the claws have become short and flattened, and are no longer sharp, and they are only suitable for walking on land, not suitable for hunting; the top of the head and the top of the neck are bare and No or few feathers, is due to often have to go deep into the animal's body, swallowing the viscera is easy to feathers stained with blood and stick together, so it gradually degraded; vulture resistance to harmful germs is also extremely strong, due to the carrion there are many harmful germs, in order to adapt to the environment, its in the body has produced a number of specialized antibodies. Although the buzzards are not as brave as other raptors will prey on prey, but it is because they can promptly remove the nature of the corrupted animal carcasses, thus effectively limiting the spread of disease and to ensure the cleanliness of the water supply, so they have been known as the nature of the "cleaner" reputation.
The eagle is the real "eagle" in people's minds, for the falconiform raptors in the most powerful species, in addition to the large raptors other than buzzards are collectively referred to by zoologists as eagles. Their body shape and flight characteristics and buzzards are very similar, but because of the eagle's staple food for living things, so its feet are large and strong, there are large and sharp hooked claws, the mouth is strong and thick, the head are full of feathers, and some species also have crown feathers. Because of their large and bulky size, they are not good at aerial hunting, but can unexpectedly swoop down from the air to hunt animals on the ground or on the surface of the water. Because of the strong and powerful, they can not only hunt geese, ducks, chickens, rabbits and other small animals, but also can be hunted than their size is also large and heavy large beasts, such as deer, goats, foxes, etc., can be called a real "air king".
There are many kinds of carvings in our country, including white-bellied sea eagle, jade belt sea eagle, white-tailed sea eagle, tiger sea eagle, snake eagle, grassland eagle, white-shouldered eagle, golden eagle and so on, among which the most people are familiar with is the golden eagle. Golden eagle in the carving is one of the largest species, its character is not only very fierce and cruel, and rapid flight, often along the straight line or circle gliding in the air, patrolling the ground activities of the prey. Golden eagle visual sharp, can be seen at a height of 1,000 meters in the ground grass in a rabbit, once found, it is difficult to escape its sharp claws. It usually inhabits the plateau at an altitude of 2,000-4,000 meters or mountainous areas in the woods, rarely to the plains up. It feeds on large birds and even small and medium-sized mammals such as deer, sheep and foxes. Golden eagle is usually monogamous life, there is a strong territoriality, each pair of golden eagles have dozens of square kilometers of territory, once there is another golden eagle invasion, will start an air tear.
The eagle is the falconiform order of medium-sized raptors, is a fairly large family, all the name with the eagle, harrier, kite and other words of the raptors belong to this category. Their body shape medium, body line flexible, is the world's most beautiful flight birds, they can be like the albatross with the help of air currents in the high altitude of the persistent circling, soaring, but also flexible and rapid to the prey of the extreme speed of the dive, and some species can even be shuttled freely in the forest. Eagle due to the medium-sized body, prey mostly birds and small mammals for food, so the legs are slightly shorter than the eagle, the beak is also a little shorter.
The species of eagle is quite prosperous, there are hawk, sparrow hawk, pine sparrow hawk, crested eagle, black kite, chestnut kite, magpie harrier and prairie harrier and so on a variety of species, to the hawk is more common. The hawk is a kind of medium-sized raptors throughout the country except Tibet. For forest birds, inhabiting the foothills of coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests and mixed forests. To rodents, birds and small animals for food. Hunting often use straight line gliding to chase prey, sometimes also hidden in the branches and leaves waiting for an opportunity to hunt.
Falcons for small raptors, generally slightly larger than pigeons, the world has more than 60 species, our country *** 10 species, the more famous peregrine falcons, falcons, falcons, kestrels and so on. They have long and pointed wings, flying quickly and powerfully, in the raptors, the falcon's size is most suitable for capturing prey, when it swoops in the air to capture prey, the speed of up to 250 kilometers per hour or more, and the character is also quite ferocious. Falcons fly through the air to hunt for a living, rainy weather is not conducive to their survival, in the spring and summer, they mostly gather in the northern Siberian region of the coniferous forests to reproduce, wait until after the rainy season in the south, it will be along with the waterfowl, wading birds, songbirds vast migratory procession trekked south to the south of the forested areas of the overwintering.
