Reproduction of golden eagles and gray wolves This essay is about the reproduction of golden eagles and gray wolves. This will tell you about development, how many offspring after birth/hatching? How long do parents care for their offspring after birth/hatching? and much more. Golden eagles are monogamous (they have only one mate) and mate for life, but if one of the two dies, the remaining one will accept a new mate. The home range is an area of ​​their territory with few nesting sites and often with a choice of two or three vacant nesting sites, called eagles' nests. Both eagles build the nest, which is constructed of branches, twigs and feathers, with rushes and grass at the bottom, and decorated with green foliage. Fertilization is internal while development is external. The female usually lays two eggs 3-4 days apart in March, and them for 43-45 days. Incubation begins with the first egg and the two chicks hatch a few days apart. The first chick to hatch from the egg is dominant over the younger one, they only have a 20% chance of surviving the first important weeks of their life. The female does most of the babysitting work, which is for keeping warm, protecting herself or covering the young with her wings or body and feeding the offspring, while the male provides the female and the young with all the food they need, especially in the early stages of the offspring's life. The girl keeps the chicks almost continuously for the first two weeks. After that she will regularly leave the nest and share the hunt with the male. The young will fledge when they are around 65-70 days old, and will become independent after 90-100 days. Young golden eagles sometimes stay with their parents until November or December, but are usually forced to find their own nest by October. The... center of the card... the low survival rate. Therefore gray wolves have a higher survival rate than golden eagles, 40% versus 20%. In conclusion, gray wolves and golden eagles are monogamous, their mothers initially caring for the newborn. However, gray wolves appear to have a higher survival rate than golden eagles. They could be provided by multiple members who would share responsibility for the well-being of the pups.
