A Golden eagle or ( Aquila
chrysaetos) is mostly found in the top of the food chain because
it is a carnivore. It s long called the king of birds it eats rabbits,
squirrels, gophers, marmots, common ravens and domestic livestock
are occasionally taken as food as well. In a food web there's only prey or predators and even predators are prey. For an example, a grub could be eaten by a raccoon and the raccoon can be eaten by a mountain lion. INTERESTING FACTS: Some Golden eagles eat tortoises. They fly with the tortoise held in their talons and then drop the tortoise on a rock to break the shell. Golden eagles are more closely related to Hawks, like the Red tailed Hawk, than to bald eagles. Bald eagles are more closely related to kites.

of a food web as you can see the golden eagle is at the top of the
food web because it is a top carnivore it is superior to its relative
the hawk. |
