The Wedge-tailed Eagle is sometimes known as the “eaglehawk”. Both names are misnomers, as it is not a hawk, and its tail is shaped more like a diamond. It is the largest bird of prey in Australia and found throughout mainland Australia, Tasmania and southern New Guinea from sea level to alpine regions in the mountains. It prefers wooded and forested land and open country, generally avoiding rainforest and coastal areas. The introduced rabbit and brown hare have become the primary items of the eagle's diet in many areas. Larger introduced mammals such as foxes and feral cats are also occasionally taken, while native animals such as wallabies, small kangaroos, possums, koalas and bandicoots are also preyed on. In some areas, birds such as cockatoos, ducks, crows, ibis, and even emu are more frequent prey items. The Wedge-tailed Eagle has become emblem throughout Australia.
