What is hiding beneath the Bald Eagle's famous white neck feathers?

In this episode of the Beyond Wild Media Bald Eagle Anatomy Series, we explore the eagle's flexible neck, cervical spine and neck musculature β€” the anatomy that helps control the position of its powerful head.

Bald Eagles are visual predators that hunt from perches and while flying. Their highly flexible neck is an important part of how they orient their head and observe their surroundings.

Using photorealistic wildlife footage and scientifically grounded 3D anatomical visualization, this episode takes you beneath the feathers to reveal an often-overlooked part of the eagle's body.

One body part at a time. One hidden mechanism at a time.
