Australia’s largest bird of prey

With a staggering wingspan reaching up to 2.5 metres, this bird of prey effortlessly dominates the skies above mainland Australia and the beautiful island state of Tasmania. Known for its tireless high-altitude soaring and remarkable hunting prowess, the wedge-tailed eagle's distinctively long, wedge-shaped tail sets it apart from other raptors.
