MARTIAL EAGLE WITH ITS KILL

Thursday, 17 January 2013 17:42 Written by

Reporting Date: 17.01.2013

Martial eagles are the most powerful birds of prey. They are made for a kill and will easily kill medium sized Birds, Reptiles and Mammals like Rabbit, Rock Hyrax and Small Antelopes.

Gordon and his guest saw the martial eagle eating its kill near a rock, which happened to be the Rock Hyrax. It started by peeling off the hair and thereafter started enjoying its meal.
