The snake-eagles eat reptiles including poisonous ones. The scales on the legs are thought to give some protection against snakebite. The brown snake-eagle in the image above was seen in Lake Manyara NP in June 2006; roll your cursor over the enlargement to see an enlargement of an immature, courtesy of Stacy Fong. |
