The Bald Eagle
The cold climate of the Taiga keeps most animals from living there year round, causing them to either migrate or hibernate during the coldest months. Some animals that migrate include the bald eagle. 80% of the bald eagle species live in the Alaskan Taiga. They prefer to eat dead animals, but are willing to eat live chickens or fish if needed. The bald eagle was once endangered but has now been recovered.
