Description
The Bateleur Eagle (Terathopius ecaudatus) is a well known member of the Serpent or Snake Eagle group. Like other members of the group, the Bateleur Eagle has a large head covered with long feathers and stocky legs with short stubby toes - ideal for grasping snakes. Unlike some Snake Eagles, the Bateleur, which is often said to mean "acrobat" in French, but a truer translation is Juggler, perhaps because of its amazing acrobatics in flight spends a lot of time soaring. It may cover 300 miles day in seaching for its prey.. Perhaps the most wonderous thing about this Eagle is its amazing colours when fully mature as this one is!
