I chose the American bald eagle because it is one of the fastest and strongest species of eagles. It is the national symbol. The Congress adopted it as the national symbol in 1782. I think it was adopted as the national bird of the United States because the Roman soldiers used the eagle as a symbol of courage and power. In the early 1800’s‚ Americans called the Bald Eagle‚ the American eagle. Here is some of the biology of the Bald Eagle. Bald Eagles do a very good job at their part in the

family of birds‚ which also includes swans and geese. The ducks are divided among several subfamilies in the Anatidae family; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species) but a form taxon‚ since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds‚ mostly smaller than the swans and geese‚ and may be found in both fresh water and sea water. Ducks are sometimes confused with several types of unrelated water birds with

So you see penguins are birds. It’s just that millions of years ago

Dinosaurs‚ theropods especially‚ fit in-between crocodiles and birds on the evolutionary scale. This relationship shows that theropod dinosaurs could have some of the traits of reptilian crocodiles and birds. The fact that theropod dinosaurs are in-between crocodiles and aves leads to the assumption that theropod dinosaurs were warm blooded so that they could transition to birds. Homoeothermic tendencies in theropod dinosaurs can be determined from the physical data of
