The Eagle can be spotted by its robust, large stature and strength. Respected for its intelligence, power and extraordinary vision, Eagle is among the most important beings in art and mythology. The spirited creatures are revered as powerful hunters who, unlike the giant Thunderbird, do not have the strength to hunt Killer Whales alone. Instead, Eagles are said to gather for co-operative whale hunting expeditions. They are also often depicted with Salmon, one of their favourite foods.
