What are the predators of Bald Eagles?

Bald eagles are at the top of the food chain and have very few natural predators in the wild. This is because they are large, powerful birds of prey with sharp talons and beaks.

However, there are a few animals that can pose a threat to bald eagles, especially to young eagles or those that are injured or weakened:

* Larger mammals: Bears, wolves, and large cats like cougars could potentially prey on young or vulnerable eagles.

* Other raptors: Golden eagles are the only known raptor to regularly prey on bald eagles.

* Humans: While not a natural predator, human activities like habitat loss, pollution, and hunting (in the past) have negatively impacted bald eagle populations.

It's important to note that these interactions are relatively rare, and bald eagles are generally not considered to be prey animals. They are more likely to be the predator themselves, with a diet consisting of fish, small mammals, and other birds.
