how long do eagles live
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) lives an average of 20 to 30 years. According to the Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest bald eagle known lived to be 47 years old. That was a captive bald eagle.However, in the wild, bald eagles do not often live out their full lifespan as they face many threats.anded wild bald eagles usually die before they turn 30, but a 31-year-old banded female corpse was discovered in Wisconsin on May 16, 2008 (see Resources). According to the American Bald Eagle Foundation, fewer than 10 percent of bald eaglets survive until sexual maturity.
