Why are bald eagles going extinct?
Because they are an apex preditor which means that they are at the top of the food chain, so if anything happens on a lower level with any of the prey it feeds on then they may be in danger of starvation. Also, if there are toxic chemicals in their environment, they get a higher concentration in their bodies than their prey. If they get too much in their systems, then they can have reproductive problems, or even die from the effests of the toxins.
it is also due to the hunting and fising.
What does the American Bald Eagle symbolize?
America soaring to the heights of humanity to be the most graceful, moral, strong, independant, almost extinct animal. Who thinks it's on the top of the food chain because it can swoop down on those other unsuspecting animals and bam there goes that whole morality "we do not tourte" thing. The eagle is just a glorified vulture who thinks it's better than all of the other birds because it eats it's animals alive. Much Luv,
A
