About These Birds
Circaète de Beaudouin
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.
gypaète barbu
The Bearded Vulture, or Lammergeier, is a spectacular high-mountain raptor found from the Pyrenees and Africa to Central and South Asia. Adults are orange-buff below, dark above, with a long diamond-shaped tail and striking beard of dark bristles below the bill. Uniquely, it feeds almost exclusively on bones, dropping them from height onto rocks to access the nutritious marrow.
