Daggett's eagle (SciiFii)

The Dagget's eagle (Buteogallus daggetti), also known as the Dagget's hawk, the walking eagle, the walking hawk, and the North American savanna hawk, is a species of long-legged hawk, not an eagle despite some of is common name, which lives in the marshlands, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across southwest North America. It originally lived during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to its former range to help boost biodiversity. The Dagget's eagle is a medium-sized bird of prey, having a wingspan on average of around 5.5-6.4 feef (1.69-1.96 cm). As is often the case with birds, the female Daggett's eagle is larger than the male. Unlike the savanna hawk (Buteogallus meridionalis), the Daggett's eagle uses its long legs like the secretarybird of Africa to hunt for smaller animals such as small reptiles from a safe distance. Like the savanna hawk, it is attracted to grass fires as these fires chase out small animals, which then make easy prey for the birds or prey, such as Daggett's eagles. Although mainly predatory, the Daggett's eagle is also a scavenger that feeds on carrion of larger animals. Like most other birds of prey, the Daggett's eagle is a solitary animal throughout most of its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Daggett's eagle is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Daggett's eagles' wide natural range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
