Description
This Stunning Eagle reminds me of an Indian Chief in full head of feathers.. From South Africa, I would imagine had it been native to America they would certainly have revered this eagle!
A few more facts to add to the last image of this Eagle:
The Bateleur is a colourful species with a very short tail (ecaudatus is Latin for tailless) which makes it unmistakable in flight. The adult male is 60 to 75 cm (24 to 30 in) long with a 175 cm (5.75 ft) wingspan. He has black plumage except for the chestnut mantle and tail, grey shoulders, and red facial skin, bill and legs.
The female is similar to the male except that she has grey rather than black secondary flight feathers. Immature birds are brown with white dappling and have greenish facial skin. It takes them seven or eight years to reach full maturity and when they are this amazing colour.
