The distribution area of ​​eagles is quite wide, and the habitat depends on the species of bird. Nevertheless, all representatives of the representatives prefer to settle away from civilization and humans, choosing mountainous or semi-open landscapes.

For example, the golden eagle inhabiting the territory of Russia (in the north of the Caucasus and the south of Primorye) nests in a hard-to-reach forest zone, and its Australian relative, the wedge-tailed golden eagle, feels comfortable in the forests of New Guinea. Steppe eagles live in steppes and semi-desert zones, inhabiting them from Transbaikalia to the Black Sea coast. The burial eagle took a fancy to the forest-steppes of Ukraine, the Kazakh steppe regions, the forests of the Czech Republic, Spain and Romania. Eagles are found in Iran and China, in Hungary and Slovakia, in Greece and Germany.

Prey for a bird of prey can be represented even by animals of rather large sizes, including a fox, a wolf and a roe deer, but most often small hares and gophers, as well as some birds and fish, fall prey to such birds. In the absence of live prey for a long time, eagles may well feed on carrion, while hunting is carried out by feathered predators not only on land, but also directly in the water.
