Do eagles eat live prey

yes, of course it eats live prey only like rats, snakes, etc

Eagles are generally Birds of Prey. Birds prey are birds that hunt for food mostly while aloft, using their keen senses, especially vision. They are defined as birds that primarily hunt vertebrates, including other birds. Their beaks and talons are usually rather large, powerful, and well adapted to piercing flesh. Although they may eat carrion (dead animals) when it is available, they primarily hunt live prey, killing it before or while eating it.
