During the winter season, in Kamchatka and in the Northern Japan on the Hokkaido Island, there is a particular concentration of two different species of eagles, Steller's sea eagles and White-tailed eagles. The fist one is among the largest eagle in the world while the second have maybe the largest wingspan. They coexist in the same region, same months and their interactions to survive are amazing and cruel. They fight for the same prey, especially Pacific code very common in this period. Not always the largest one can be sure to defeat its revals.
