Comment
Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, the wedge-tailed eagle is Australia's largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world. With an impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres , it can also be recognised from its long, powerful legs which are feathered all the way to the feet.
Wedge-tailed eagles can be observed across mainland Australia and Tasmania in a variety of habitats, from coastal to alpine regions. The birds favour lightly wooded country offering favourable nesting sites from which they have a clear view of their territory and ready access to prey including mammals such as rabbits and hares, as well as lizards, snakes and other birds.
Interesting fact
The Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle coin features the sixth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, which was first introduced in 2015. It is considered one of the most detailed and realistic portraits of the Queen, showcasing her majesty in a regal and elegant manner.
