distance flying, Steppe eagle is able to travel as far as 4000 miles from the area of Central Asia
to Africa region. Bone in the eagles (and other big birds as albatross or vulture) have the nature
of pneumatic (the skeleton has a cavity filled by air). In addition to the nature of the bone, the
ability to fly long-distance is also supported by a modification of muscle and wings. Its muscle
weight on the eagle is located at the centre of its gravitation, super-sized wide wings to ease the
flow of air raising his body. In addition it can also make an eagle capable to fly without flapping
their wings. We can see it when the eagle soaring in the air, stretches its wings widely without
flapping. It usually flaps its wings to increase the speed of flying, especially when they are
