In the canton of Graub\u00fcnden territories cover about 50 square kilometres on average. Intruders are vehemently chased away. For more detailed information about the golden eagle, we recommend \u00abDer Steinadler in Graub\u00fcnden\u00bb, by the director of the National Park, Dr. Heinrich Haller; available (in German) from the Swiss National Park information centre or through our online shop.<\/p>\n<p>The golden eagle no longer has any natural enemies; and yet their numbers do not show a noticeable increase. The greater the number of birds soaring in the available air space, the greater the competition amongst them. If an eagle pair have to continually leave their eyrie to defend their territory, they neglect their young. Research has shown that an increase in the number of territories results in less successful breeding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-151","florafauna_cpt","type-florafauna_cpt","status-publish","hentry","florafauna_category-animals","florafauna_category-birds"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Golden eagle - Swiss National Park<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/en\/flora-and-fauna\/golden-eagle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Golden eagle - Swiss National Park\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The golden eagle narrowly escaped extinction.
