7. I am the Lord of the Air, The symbol of the mighty Roman Empire. My hunting prowess, unprecedented, A sure sign of the noble flier! What am I?

Eagles are birds of prey; but because they were bigger and more solidly built than the other birds of prey such as the falcon or hawk, they were more commonly regarded as symbols of strength and might.

The Guinea pig is actually a type of rodent, and is a popular family pet. They act like rabbits; eating lettuce and carrot, and can be kept in a cage like a rabbit. It is thought that the reason they are called 'pigs' is because they emit 'pig-like sounds', and are built like a pig too.
