The Wedge-tailed Eagle is a large eagle marked by a long, wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs down to the toes. It eats live prey as well as carcasses.
Adults are mostly dark brown to black. Young birds are brown with reddish-brown heads and wings, becoming darker through at least their first 10 years.
It hunts live prey such as rabbits and hares, and also scavenges carcasses. It may hunt alone, in pairs or in groups.
