How many diploids do eagles have?
Birds have quite conserved chromosome numbers compared to other vertebrates. The typical diploid number (2n) is 80 chromosomes. Chicken, for example, has 78 chromosomes.
Of the avian species so far examined (~800 out of ~9600) about 63% have 2n=74 to 86, and a further 24% have 2n=66-74.
The lower extremes include the stone curlew and beach thick knee (2n=40), while the highest numbers are found in the Grey or Southern Go-away bird (2n=136-142; exact numbers are hard to find) and the common kingfisher (2n=132 or 138).
How do golden eagles survive in the cold?
Bald Eagles winter in and around Red Wing, MN where the temperature dips to -20F. As long as there is open water where they can fish as is in the Mississippi River (because the speed at which it flows), they did just fine for the 22 years I lived there.
for a start its bald. a bald eagle is where all the hair from the pubic triangle is shaved.
It could kill a man if it's claws accidently caught the neck of the person.
It's claws would pierce into the juglar vein causing instant death, or if it landed on your head it could cause bad head injurys.
The likelyhood of it happening is about the same as being hit by lightning though, as the size and shape of a human body would deter the Eagle, survival instinct.
They would rather go after prey smaller than itself so it can eat and usually behave in a robotic instinctive way, survival is key.
The only sure way to die would be to physically try and raid it's nest, this would be a sure fatal move, remembering that the Eagle is seeking survival over anything else.
Are cardinal bird warm blooded?
I'm pretty sure it's warm-blooded, because birds and mammals are the only two vertebrates that are warm-blooded.

Camels eat a wide variety of plants over expansive home ranges. They have leathery mouths and can eat practically any vegetation including thorns, dry vegetation and salt bush that other mammals avoid. Just about all vegetation available in the desert.
camels mainly eat straw/hay/roughage in the wild they will nibble on small branches/leaves/shrubs the diet from the zoo and private people owning camels is way -WAY- too rich; carrots, fruit etc is too rich for them; use these as nice snacks, but only snacks/reward
Well you cant take dose's of eagle all day unless that's slang for some type of drug. If your question was, "What does an eagle do all day" i shall answer.
An eagle collects food for its self and/or its youngins. It may also make a nest and fly aimlessly around.

Why are the bald eagle head feathers white?
I have a theory. I've noticed the easiest way to tell a bird of prey apart from non predatory birds is by the tail shape and head. If the head and tail are white it's very difficult for the prey to recognize the eagle as a predator against the sky. I've noticed pigeons where I live don't mind the turkey buzzards flying over head, but as soon as a hawk in the air they immediately bolt. If all you can see of a bald eagle in the sky is the wing shape, it is easy to think the large bird may just be a goose, duck or buzzard.
not usually as bats are only a small bill in the golden eagle's diet, but they have been observed catching vampire bats in some areas
What type of eagles eat humans?
