Sagittarius serpentarius
Huge bird "taller" than 1 metre. Although it is called secretary, it is not gentle at all! from "serpentarius", you could know it mainly feeds on snakes, & sometimes mice, lizards, bird eggs, etc. Instead of pecking around, it stamps on the prey to stop its motion and pick it up & drop on the ground hard. What a violent bird @@
Savanna & grassland
Thank you so much >3<
Hope you all have great spotting & encounter the beauty of nature everyday =]
Congrats Ning! This stunning shot has been selected as Spotting of the Day!
"The Secretary Bird is instantly recognizable as having an eagle-like body on crane-like legs which increases the bird’s height to as much as 1.3 m (4 ft) tall!"
