Explanation:

DDT is a harmful pesticide that can cause problems for birds. Golden eagles thriving could be related to not being affected by DDT - eating animals without DDT would help them avoid its negative impacts. Swallowing DDT without getting sick is not typical as it is toxic. Pushing out bald - eagles and having more mice due to bald - eagles leaving are not the most direct reasons related to thriving in terms of DDT avoidance.

Answer:

They ate animals that did not contain any DDT.
