What animals eat baby eagles?

Question

I'm looking for names of animals that eat baby eagles, whether they be hatched or unhatched in egg form.

Answer 1

I saw a wolverine climb a tree to get to an eagle's nest one time. Corvids (e.g., crows, ravens) will kill and eat nestling if they get a chance. For the most part eagles are attentive parents and the nests are in hard to reach locations, so not much preys on them. Siblicide is common among nest mates. The young eagles are far more likely to die of malnutrition or falling from the nest than from being preyed upon.

Answer 2

Eagles tend to build their nests in pretty inaccesible spots such as tall trees or cliffs and defend their nests vigorously so there really isn't much that eats the young in the nest. I have heard of cases where a larger and stronger eagle chick would kill and eat a weaker nest mate though. Usually though if the parents can get them enough food the young eagles are pretty safe and secure until they leave their nest. This is when the mortality rate gets higher.

Answer 3

Nests can be very vulnerable to crows, raccoons, snakes or other climbing animal capable of cracking the egg and eating it. Owls will eat the eggs or the juveniles.
