Baby Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).
Adult Golden Eagles range widely in size across their range. The largest races comprise the largest eagles of the genus Aquila. Length may vary from 66 to 100 cm (26-40 in), wingspan can range from 150 to 240 cm (59-95 in), and weight is from 2.5 to 7 kg (5.5-15.4 lb). As in all birds of prey, the females are generally slightly larger than the males. The largest golden eagle on record was a female caught in Spain, which measured 103 cm (41 in) in length and weighed in an excess of 9 kg (20 lb).
