Slowly and steadily, I make my way through the Arctic waters. Using my front paws as thrust and hind legs as a rudder, I work my way towards the isolated seal. It’s been twenty minutes since I first spotted the ringed seal, perched on top of the ice looking into the distance. From the moment I saw it, I had dived into the waters and come up with a tactic to devour my first meal of the day.
Even if the seal looks in my direction, it won't be able to see me. With my bright white fur and exceptional swimming skills, I can make myself look like just another ordinary ice chunk drifting helplessly in the vast Arctic. As I draw in closer and closer to the seal, I eventually reach the ice plate on which it rests. Patiently, I wait for the seal to look away and when it does, I carefully transfer myself onto the cold, soft ice.
It’s almost time. I crouch low and take slow wide steps. I make no sudden movements and make sure to walk silently on my padded feat. At last, the seal comes within range. 70 ft…..60ft…..50ft.….40ft…..Freeze!
The seal gradually turns its neck towards me and I immediately drop down, trying to hide all my non-white colors. I can sense the creature beginning to feel insecure and scared. It knows something is wrong but can’t figure out what. I keep my stance, using all my skills to camouflage into my surroundings. The seal scans the area around him but doesn’t notice me, thinking that I’m just another piece of uneven ice. I don’t dare to move a muscle as the seal still searches for the disturbance. Finally, it gives up and returns to its sightseeing, giving me the perfect opportunity to strike. In one fluid motion, I jump up to my feet and charge at the helpless seal, who turns around only to see the full strength of my vicious jaws.
How does the Golden Eagle hide in its environment, well it doesn't, the golden eagle is a prey animal and it doesn't hide.
The golden eagle does not have any predators so it doesnt need to hide. I mean the golden eagle color is dark brown so it could hide in some spots but it doesn't. Compared to the Polar Bear it is easy for them, they're white so they can just hide in the snow but what's the point of living in fear? The golden eagle doesn't hide and the polar bear does why because it's scary to die, there are wolves and walruses that can kill them and humans hunt them. Let's talk about what are adaptations of golden eagle . I already said the golden eagle doesn't hide it does not need to hide, it's a prey eagle, it's fast and has good eyesight, specially designed feet, sharp beak and large wings. The eagles eyesight let them find prey scurrying along the ground. Why should it hide it has no predators unlike the Polar Bear, do you want to know something the golden eagles is special, the polar bear is not. Do you know why it's special because the golden eagle is one of the strongest eagles and has no predators. The polar bear can be killed by a human, wolves what a loser if you ask me, it's big and strong but can defend itself from humans and wolves what a loser. Golden eagles can easily defend themselves from humans and wolves. How do golden eagles move and behaviour? Extremely fast, they display astonishing maneuverability. As they fly, golden eagles often hold their wings up in a slight “V.” A normal soaring speed is about 28-32 mph; when they are hunting, they can glide at speeds up to 120 mph. When diving (or stooping) for prey, they reach speeds of 150 – 200 mph.
