Question

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Eagles are birds of prey. The Tawny Eagle is a large bird of prey which is about 62 to

72 cm in length and has a wingspan of 165-185 cm. It usually weighs 1.6 to 2.4 kg. Like all other

Eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.

It mostly breeds in many parts of Africa, both north and south of Sahara Desert and

across the tropical region from south-western Asia to India. It lays one to three eggs in a stick

nest in a tree, crag or on the ground. Throughout its range, it favours open dry habitats like

semi-desert, desert, steppes or savannah plains.

These eagles are large with tawny upper parts and blackish flight feathers and tail

whereas the lower back is very pale. When compared to the Steppe Eagle, this species is paler

and smaller. The call of the Tawny eagle is a crow-like barking, though it is a silent bird most of

the time. It eats largely fresh carrion of all kinds. It also kills small mammals like rabbits,

reptiles and birds as big as a guineafowl.
