Eagle Talon Anatomy - Scientific Illustration of Raptor Foot Structure #56785 (License: Personal Use)

This precise 19th-century-style anatomical illustration depicts the foot of a diurnal bird of prey, likely an eagle or hawk, emphasizing the robust phalanges, heavily keratinized talons, and overlapping scales. The dense feathering at the tarsus transitions into bare, armored skin, illustrating thermoregulation and protection during prey capture. Fine linework reveals musculature attachment points and joint articulation critical for grip strength and strike precision.

Used in ornithology textbooks, wildlife education sites, museum exhibits, and conservation articles to explain raptor morphology; targets users researching avian anatomy, predatory adaptations, or historical scientific illustration techniques.
