Steller's Sea-Eagle

Aquila pelagica Pallas, 1811

The Steller's Sea-Eagle is classified as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

That being said, the Steller's Sea-eagle is less vagrant than the White-tailed Eagle, usually lacking the long-range dispersal common in juveniles of that species. The large size (see also Bergmann's Rule) suggests that it is a glacial relic, meaning that it evolved in a narrow subarctic zone of the northeasternmost Asian coasts, which shifted its latitude according to ice age cycles, and never occurred anywhere else.
