🦅Golden eagle
El águila real (Aquila chrysaetos, del latín aquila, 'águila', y del griego χρυσός, 'dorado', y ἀετός, 'águila') es una especie de ave accipitriforme de la familia Accipitridae. Es una de las aves de presa más conocidas y ampliamente distribuidas de la Tierra. Su área de distribución abarca gran parte de América del Norte, Eurasia y el norte de África. Mantiene poblaciones sedentarias incluso en varias islas como Gran Bretaña, las del Mediterráneo y Japón. Sin embargo, su población en Europa Central se ha visto muy reducida en los últimos años por culpa de la actividad humana y se ha extinguido en muchos lugares donde antes era abundante.
