Peter (eagle)

The bald eagle can be seen on many official US documents including passports, dollar bills and most notably, the back of all quarters.

[2] Their head is white making them “bald” and their feathered body and wings are dark brown.

Bald eagles find their prey by sitting on a perch or soaring over the land, since they are able to see up to a mile.

Pennsylvania is abundant with forests and water sources,[4] making it a place where many eagles live.

Peter resided in the Philadelphia Mint, a contrast from an eagle’s typical habitat.

[6] He can be admired with his wings stretched out at the main entrance of the United States Mint to greet his visitors.
