Birds of the World is a series depicting the fascinating life cycles of birds of prey. In this installment, Birds of the World: Eagles: The Majestic Hunters, host David Attenborough guides the viewer through a close-up look at one of the most powerful and deadly of hunters, the eagle. Trained in the art of hunting from an early age by its parents, the young eagle soon becomes adept at capturing its own food. With superior hunting tools of super-keen eyesight and terribly efficient claws, the eagle reigns supreme as an effective pursuer of prey.
