Male Stellerโs sea eagles can have a wingspan of up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) and weigh around 5 to 7 kilograms (11 to 15 pounds). These powerful birds primarily feed on fish, particularly salmon, and are known for their impressive hunting skills. They are also known for their striking black and white plumage and are one of the most endangered eagle species due to habitat loss.
