Description: Very large eagle whose numbers are rapidly declining due to farmers putting out poisoned carcasses to kill problem animals. These eagles often scavange although perfectly cappable of killing large prey. Found throughout Africa, except for forested areas. Preys on any mammal, bird or insect, often resorting to pirating from other raptors.
