1 A bald eagle can live up to 30 years in the wild, and longer in captivity. 2  These eagles can fly up to 60 miles per hour, and can dive at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.3  All bald eagles in captivity -- including those at the Saint Louis Zoo -- can no longer survive in the wild.rom head to tail it can measure up to three-and-a-half-feet long, and weigh between eight and 15 pounds. The wingspan of an adult can reach eight feet. Adult male and female bald eagles look the same, with the characteristic white head, white tail markings, and brown body. Their beak, feet and eyes are yellow.
Bald Eagles mostly eat fish and waterfowl. They have amazingly strong talons, which can squeeze up to 1000 pounds per square inch. (Some adult male humans can squeeze about 180 to give you a comparison). This allows the bald eagles to lock their prey and hold onto it while they are flying. Bald Eagles can usually carry a fish that is half the eagle's body weight (the fish can be up to 9 lbs.). They also happen to be good swimmers. Female eagles are bigger than males, so that they can sit on their eggs to incubate them. Bald Eagles are at the top of their food chain, and don't have very many predators. They have amazing eyesight and could see the words Quarter Dollar on a quarter if it were a football field away from them.
