The endangered spices of the Bald Eagle since 1800’s, the bald eagle weighs 7 to 10 pounds, has a length of 3 feet from beck to tail, and its wingspan is about 7 feet long. The females tend to be bigger then the males in most cases. They live up to 30 years in the wild and live more then 30 in captivity. The population has been declining, in 1700’s the population was up to three hundred to five hundred and in the twentieth century they’re still declining rapidly. The bald eagle has become an endangered spices because of hunting, pry lost, and thinning of the egg shells. They normally eat fish and due to the water pollution the fish population has decreased, and thinning of the egg shells has them hatch before they’re ready. The Bald Eagle is protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, and Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, and the lacey Act of 1940.

Well the endangerment of the bald eagle in America really isnt a great issue because there's a law saying you can not kill them and its the national animal of America. I dont think people will be killing them because of the consequences of killing them.
ReplyDeleteThe low population of the Bald Egle is concerning as it is the most populer bird in the united states, it has drawn the attention of hunters and collecters across the states wich also played a role in the population loss. A Bald Egle can be worth money to a collecter and people will pay high amounts of money for a Bald Egle. The government needs to start punishing more people that played a role for the bird to get put on to the indangerd species list.
ReplyDeleteYou spelled EAGLE wrong. But this is a issue in America i suppose and the government needs to do something to track down these hunters killing the Bald Eagle.
