EAGLES AND NEST- 



are killed by the grip of their tremendous claws, the Eagle in no case making use of its 

 beak for the purpose of killing its prey. If the bird carries off a lamb or a hare, 

 it grasps the body firmly with its claws, and then by a sudden exertion of its wonderful 

 strength, drives the sharp talons deep into the vitals of its prey, and does not loosen its 

 grasp until the breath of life has fled and all movement has ceased.
