Do eagles eat chameleons

Answer 1

Chickens are not the preferred food of eagles. American (Bald) eagles eat mostly fish and golden eagles eat mostly small mammals like rabbits and squirrels. I suppose if an eagle was very hungry and could find nothing better, he would indeed eat a chicken. And who would blame him?

Answer 2

If it is readily available as a food source, large enough species of falcon will take on a chicken, and if it realizes chickens are a good food source, will probably make a habit off of hunting chickens.

Answer 3

Not usually. But some species of eagle do feed on reptiles, often snakes and other lizards. Chameleons would present a welcome meal for many eagle species, where the two coexist, especially in Africa.

Answer 4

Eagles eat a variety of types of food, depending on their species and their location. Many of them live close to water where they can consume different types of fish. They can dive right into the water to get to the fish. For Eagles that live in such a region, their diet is 90% fish.

Other sources of food include snakes and small reptiles. In many locations, the Eagles will consume rodents and rabbits. In those areas, many farmers enjoy these birds as they take care of pests that get into their crops.

Some people have reported their small dogs being taken by Eagles. In some areas squirrels will be a great meal for them. Turtles are often part of their diet as well. It is the instinctive drive of the Eagle to take every opportunity to eat when they can. They don't know when they may find their next meal.

They will consume just about any type of meat. When their normal food items are scarce they may also consume birds that are smaller in size than they are. Eagles are often in flight when they aren't eating, as that allows them the best view to find other potential sources of food.

They don't have to eat daily though to be able to survive. However, if they go too many days without any food they can become very weak. This is a serious problem because then it makes it extremely difficult for them to be able to have enough energy to hunt later on.

When Eagles have an extremely difficult time finding food that they can prey upon, they may resort to carrion. This is the remains of other kills that other animals have left behind. They have the sharp beak that allows them to get into areas of the food source that other animals couldn't. They also have a digestive system that allows them to survive on such food when other animals may become violently ill or die from eating it.

The body of the Eagle is well designed for getting food and for consuming it. They have excellent vision, and they can see food sources from 1 ½ away. They can also dive at a speed of 100 miles per hour to get to the food. They can pick it up with their talons. If they want to continue in flight, they can do so with a source of food that is up to 8 pounds in size.

They often take the food source to a safe location before they will consume it. They don't want to risk another creature coming along that would like to dine on that food source. When the Eagle does stop to eat, they hold the prey in place with the talons. They use their hooked beak to be able to get through the body and to the meat. They are very good hunters due to their speed and their strength. As a result, very few hunts are unsuccessful.

Answer 5

Birds of Prey will. It is not uncommon to have a chick or chicken lost because an owl, hawk, falcon etc was hungry.

Answer 6

yes, they use there beaks and cut open the shels of the clams and eat them :D
