Desert Eagle

Eagles are known as a type of strong meat-eating bird. But to become the strongest, a number of eagles must be sharpened and trained.

In the Middle East, training eagles has become a tradition. Training becomes even more special if the owner is from a royal family like the Prince of Dubai Sheikh Mohammad Al Maktoum.

Until now, several eagles belonging to the Prince of Dubai have been looked after very well.

However, apart from their status as the prince's treasure, these birds also come from the special Hubara species and are worth US$ 40 thousand each.

Centuries ago, this type of eagle was usually caught by Arab Bedouins. In winter, these eagles are usually used to prey on other birds.

In Arabia, the eagle is a symbol of loyalty and valor. It is also a tradition to train eagles specifically to be skilled at preying in the middle of the desert, no matter how hot or cold.

This habit has become a kind of recreation for the upper middle class. So that it doesn't get lost, eagle claws are usually fitted with a radio transmission device.

Eagles can fly at very high speeds, both soaring into the sky and swooping to the ground. Their prey are mostly small birds that fly in groups.

From this prey, an eagle also obtains protein which is important for its body. Because of this, the eagle is often nicknamed the king of desert birds.

Thank you, hopefully it will increase our insight into the natural environment.
