After the first chip is broken off of the egg, there is no activity for around 27 hours. After this period, the hatching activity accelerates and the shell is broken apart in 35 hours.
Genetic research has recently indicated a clade containing the near-circumpolar golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), Verreaux's eagle (A. verreauxii) of Africa, Asian Gurney's eagle (A. gurneyi) and the Australian wedge-tailed eagle (A. audax). This identification of this particular clade has long been suspected based on similar morphological ...
