Eagles and their offspring, in particular, faced many difficulties in keeping their population alive when DDT use was at its height. “…DDT and its relatives alter the bird's calcium metabolism in a way that results in thin eggshells” (Stanford). The thinning of eggshells meant that when the mother cared for the eggs, they would crack, killing the embryo inside.
