The Difference between Condors and Eagles – The Common Mistakes made by People

Eagle perched

In describing powerful aerial predators, we often think of the eagles as the primary first since they are most symbolic of birds of prey and are known for their size, speed and strength among all other avian species, however, this is not the case among many people in the south American countries who view the vultures called condors as the sole predators of the sky. The difference between the two, aside from their species, would be the way they go about their hunting circuits- Eagles are known to stalk their prey from many miles up then swoop down and grab them in the clutches of their talons while condors are more inclined to be scavengers and may only prey on very small mice and snakes compared to the eagle that could haul a rabbit into the air.
