steller's eagles clash over food as they swoop down to catch fish from the icy water in Hokkaido, Northern Japan. See Animal News copy AN-DouglasEagles: This is the amazing moment that giant steller's eagles clash in a mid-air battle over a fish right above the head of a brave photographer. With wingspans up to 2.5metres long and sharp orange claws and beaks, the eagles put on a ferocious display as they scrap over the unlucky prey. The dramatic pin-sharp images were taken in Hokkaido, Northern Japan, where the birds pluck fish from the icy seas and supplement their diet with crab, shellfish, duck, gulls and carrion.
