About the Martial Eagle
The martial eagle is one of Africa's largest and most powerful eagles, found mainly in open woodland, savanna and semi-arid habitats. It has broad wings, a heavily built body and dark brown upperparts contrasting with a pale underside marked with dark streaking. It is an apex aerial predator capable of taking a wide range of prey, including birds, reptiles and mammals, sometimes tackling animals much larger than itself. It usually hunts from elevated perches or while soaring over open country.
How to identify the Martial Eagle
Very large eagle with broad wings, a long tail and powerful feathered legs. Adults are dark brown above with white underparts heavily marked with dark barring and streaking. Juveniles are generally paler.
