The PowerPoint presentation circulating the Internet is a myth and metaphor intended to encourage and strengthen people. Eagles do not go into seclusion, pluck out their feathers, beak and talons, and then after five months emerge renewed. It's a myth! An eagle's beak and talons grow continuously, because they are made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and fingernails. Eagles molt in patches, taking almost half a year to replace feathers, starting with the head and working downward. Not all feathers are replaced in a given molt. An eagle without feathers, talons, and a beak would die of starvation and exposure.
the only reason an eagle would attack under normal circumstances is if a person tries to disturb a nest.
Yes, though eagle claws are very strong, they are not used for tearing. The hooked beak of an eagle is used for killing, ripping, and removing flesh from the prey.

What is the value of a US 50 dollar gold eagle with Roman numerals?
These are bullion coins containing 1 oz of gold and not intended for circulation. The $50 denomination is an artificial valuation. The spot price of gold changes regularly so you'll need to check a site such as kitco.com or the financial section of a newspaper to find out its current valuation. Any number posted here would be out of date within days.
The rate changes and the longer you save you'll probably get more since gold is a natural resource and will eventually run out.

Today, "harpy" primarily refers to a mythical creature from Greek mythology, often depicted as a winged spirit known for stealing and carrying away individuals. In modern contexts, the term is sometimes used metaphorically to describe a person—usually a woman—who is perceived as aggressive or malicious. Additionally, "Harpy" is the name of various contemporary media, including video games and literature, and can also refer to software or technology products, depending on the context.

Why is the golden eagle going to be extinct?
well, we wouldn't have any more bald eagles
Happily, the bald eagle has made a remarkable comeback, and is in no danger at the moment.they are in danger ok do not look at this wedgtngbn bhthbfntjbbThe great auk (Pinguinus impennis) was very common in the North Atlantic in past centuries, particularly off the shores of Iceland, the Faroes, Greenland, the northern isles of the UK, Canada and Norway. It is thought that the species numbered many millions before man began to hunt it in earnest, but it is not clear how many there were in Iceland.
Around 1800, the species was under serious threat because of excessive hunting. But it was mainly sailors who hunted them on their long fishing trips in these regions. The bird was large, meaty and easy prey, as it could not fly. The great auk was also hunted for its feathers which were used in the clothing industry.
The great auk was a very large bird, at more than 70 cm in length it was by far the largest bird in the Alcae (auk) family. Various other species in this family are common in bird cliffs around the country, such as the razorbill (Alca torda), guillemot (Uria aalga), thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia) and puffin (Fratercula arctica).
Excessive hunting was the main cause of their extinction. The last two were taken at Eldey on 4 June 1844 when three Icelandic sailors, Sigurður Ísleifsson, Ketill Ketilsson and Jón Brandsson, were asked to collect a few specimens for the Danish natural history collector, Carl Siemsen. Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson were each quick to find and kill a bird but Ketill returned empty handed, as the two birds killed were the last ones, and that was the end of the story for this penguin of the North. This sad story of the fate of the great auk proves that uncontrolled hunting can wipe out a species in a relatively short space of time.
It is worth noting that the Icelandic Institute of Natural History has a stuffed great auk that was bought at a Sothebys auction in London in 1971. There are only 80 such specimens in the world.
