Science Comics: Birds of Prey introduces eagles, vultures, and other hunters through dramatic visual encounters with the animals they pursue or scavenge. Talons, eyesight, wings, instincts, and food-chain roles explain what each bird can do and why the ecosystem needs it.

The science inside

  • Anatomy & Physiology
  • Animals & Zoology
  • Ecosystems

Your child will meet:

  • Talons, keen eyesight, and powerful wings are specialized structures that support hunting or scavenging.
  • Birds of prey use different behaviors and foods even though they share the raptor label.
  • Predators and scavengers affect food webs by consuming prey or carrion.

Use it this way

Pick one eagle panel and one vulture panel and draw arrows from each visible body structure to the job it performs. Finish by placing each bird in a simple three-organism food chain, using the book rather than approaching a raptor, nest, or carcass outdoors.
