How long is a bald eagle's wingspan??
441057
An immature bird has speckled brown feathers all over, the distinctive head and body plumage arriving 2–3 years later, before sexual maturity. Adult females have a wingspan of approximately 2.1 meters (7 feet); adult males have a wingspan of 2 meters (6 feet, 6 inches). Adult females weigh approximately 5.8 kg (12.8 lb), males weigh 4.1 kg (9 lb).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_eagle

This hasn't been measured before, but with some information we can make an educated guess. Thanks to an informative website I have learned that a bumble bee's wings beat 130-240 beats per minute approxamitely. Now we must think of the power these beats can produce. The rate at which they beat would have to steadily increase as altitude increases, a reason why airplanes are limited to certain altitudes, or ceilings.I would have to say, without any wind in the factors, a bumble bee could get up to 50-80 feet in the air. Since the exact bpm of their wings is unknown, it isn't possible, yet, to determine their ceiling.

The dart board is hung so that the center of the bullseye is 5'8" (1.74m) from the floor. The throwing line or oche is generally located 7'9.25" (2.37m) from the face of the dartboard measured horizontally.

Most bald eagles winter in southern Alaska.

A really BIG one.  Stinger might be up to 1/2 inch long!  OUCH.....!!

Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

Yeah.......according to Bette Midler (a fine but lesser known boy scout fan) You can't fly higher than an Eagle!

Technically an "Eagle" is a 2 on a 4 or a 3 on a 5....a 1 on a 4 is called an Albatros and a 1 on a 3 is called an ace.\n\nThis is just from memory...no sources...

clipped from www.wisegeek.com\n\nFor sheer length you can't beat a female Giant Walking Stick (Phobaeticus serratipes). Found in Malaysia and Singapore, looking like an assemblage of twigs, it is perfectly camouflaged among the branches where it lives. The longest specimen on record was an amazing 21.8" (55.5cm). Some people even keep these huge insects as pets.\n\nThe Giant Walking Stick may be long, but it doesn't have much mass. For that you have to turn to the giant scarab beetles. Among them, entomologists have settled on 5 contenders:\n\nThe South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus giganteus) of French Guiana makes perhaps the most impressive showing with a body length over 6.5" (16.7cms).\n\nA shorter but far thicker competitor is the Acteon Beetle (Megasoma acteon) of South America. Males can grow to 5.3" (13.5cms) long by 1.6" (4cms) thick. \n\nThe Elephant Beetle (Megasoma elephas) found in Mexico and Venezuela has a shorter body than the Aceton, but a longer snout, making its total recorded length 5.4" (13.7cms).\n\nBringing up the rear are two species of Goliathus: regius and goliatus, both measuring in at 4.3" (11cms).\n\nIn 1874 the Rev. J. G. Wood published Insects Abroad, in which he claimed to have in his possession a 9" (22.8cm) South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus). A specimen this large has never been documented since, and no one is quite sure what method he used to measure the bug. Therefore the accepted recorded length remains at 6.5" (16.7cms), which still leads the top five contenders.\n\nAlthough the Giant Walking Stick and scarab beetles win for length and mass, for sheer weight you'll have to turn to the giant wetas (Deinacrida heteracantha) of New Zealand. A pregnant female can top the scales at over 2 ounces (71gms)! \n\nThere are well over 1 million insect species known, with an estimated 10 million still undocumented. However, the title of world's biggest insect remains a matter of what constitutes "biggest" to you: length, mass or weight!

It could refer to the appearance of baldness, as in bald eagle, which has white feathers on its head.  Or there's bald mountain, which is so tall that the top is above the tree line.

Nope.  As the proportions of the hummingbird gets bigger their weight, which is proportional to volume, also gets bigger.  Strength on the other hand is known to be roughly proportional to the cross section of muscle for any particular limb.  The same calculations are used for weight lifting events, and tell us if a 200 lb athlete did a better lift than a 180 lber.  I\n\nIn addition to all that, the bones also do not increase in nearly as much volume proportionatly as the meat.  The hummingbird would snap its bones trying to flap them that fast, but it probably wouldn't even be able to fly at all.  Because of all these limits on our structures, any animal that big begins taking on the weightlifter build.  For birds, the limit is that of the condor and it glides everywhere it goes.  The albatross is so fat at 30 lbs it already has trouble taking off and landing, so much so that its nickname is the goony bird.  30 lbs :that's the upper limit for birds on Earth right now.   \n\nThe teratorn is the largest bird that's ever been found at 160 - 170 lbs with a 25 foot wingspan and 11 feet from beak to tail, and it's EXTINCT.  We've only found the bones of one located in Argentina.  It seems hard to believe that a bird of that size would even be able to get off the ground, but it all the bones for flight so it must have.  This teratorn was a gliding bird of prey that closely resembled the eagle.  Animals like this and the Ultrasaur show us how what we perceive to be gravity is capable of changing... but that's for another question.

Tough question because a lot of the intruments stick out from the bus on booms making the entire deployed length pretty substantial.  It's dish is 12 feet across and the spacecraft bus (the non-payload guts of the thing where the gyros, computers, tape recorder and communications equipment lives)  is about half that. Most of the visble, IR and UV instruments stick out on one boom about 10 feet long, and then opposite those is the radioactive thermo-electric generator sticking out about 20 feet from the center of mass of the vehicle.\n\nFinally there are some low gain dipole plasma radio wave antennas (2 metal rods oriented at 90 degree angles to one another) and a low field magnetometer boom which is probably about 24 feet long but oriented such that it only projects maybe 12-15 feet from the edge of the high gain antenna (communications dish).\n\nThe images below show you what the beast looks like, but the second one does not show the magnetometor boom.

Gallimimus was a fast-running dinosaur with a very long, thin, flattened, toothless, horny beak, a small head, and a relatively large brain. The bottom front part of its beak was shaped like a shovel. It had large eyes positioned on opposite sites of its head, ruling out binocular vision (depth perception). It had a long neck, long tail, and long legs. Gallimimus was about 13-20 ft (4-6 m) long, was 6.3 ft (1.9 m) tall at the hips, and may have weighed about 970 pounds (440 kg).
