L'Uraète audacieux (Aquila audax, anciennement Uroaetus audax) est maintenant considéré comme appartenant au groupe des Aigles vrais et souvent appelé Aigle audacieux. [...] Il vit [...] dans les forêts et dans les plaines de l'Australie, de la Tasmanie et de la Nouvelle-Guinée méridionale. Très voisin, par son comportement, de l'Aigle royal, il se nourrit surtout au dépend des petites espèces de Kangourous [...] et les fermiers l'accusent de faire des ravages dans les troupeaux de Moutons. 2, record 1, French, - aigle%20d%26rsquo%3BAustralie
