The Booted Eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) is a species in the genus Hieraaetus. Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

Among the most powerful and widely distributed raptors in the world, golden eagles have wingspans reaching 2.2 meters and inhabit mountainous terrain across the Northern Hemisphere.

In many cultures they have been central to falconry traditions spanning millennia.
