The Spanish imperialeagle breeds in central and southwest Spain, with populations found in the Sierras of Guadarrama and Gredos, the plains of the Tajo and Tiétar rivers, Monters de Toledo, the central hills of Extremadura, the Alcudia valley, Sorena Morena and the Guadalquivir marshes.
Feeding almost exclusively on rabbits, the Spanish imperialeagle's population density, range and reproductive performance are influenced by the abundance and distribution of prey in the area (2).
Meyburg, B.U. (1975) On the biology of the Spanish imperialeagle.
Eagles are similar to the buteos, or buzzard hawks, but are larger both in length and in wingspread (up to 7 1/2 ft/228 cm) and have beaks nearly as long as their heads.
The gray and Steller's sea eagles (also in the genus Haliaetus) are native to colder areas of the Northern Hemisphere; the king or imperialeagle to S Europe and Asia; and the rare monkey-eating eagle to the Philippines.
The eagle was the emblem of one of the Ptolemies of Egypt and was borne on the standards of the Roman armies and of Napoleon's troops.
