Golden Eagles usually mate for life. They build several eyries within their territory and use them alternately for several years. These nests consist of heavy tree branches, upholstered with grass when in use. Old eyries may be 2 metres (6.6 ft) in diameter and 1 metre (3.3 ft) in height, as the eagles repair their nests whenever necessary and enlarge them during each use.

The Amazon River Dolphin has about 100 peg-like front teeth for catching prey and it mainly eats crustaceans, crabs, turtles, catfish and other fish. The dolphins have been seen swimming through the trees during high season.
