Über uns

Beaudouin's Snake-eagle is a vulnerable raptor found in forest-savanna mosaics and woodland edges in West and Central Africa. It resembles other snake-eagles with a large, rounded head, yellow eyes, and lightly barred underparts. As its name suggests, it preys primarily on snakes, which it catches in open areas, and is threatened by deforestation and habitat degradation.
