águia-cobreira-de-peito-preto

The Black-chested Snake-eagle is a large, powerful raptor of sub-Saharan African open habitats, with dark brown upperparts, a white belly, and a conspicuous black breast forming a dark chest band. It inhabits open and lightly wooded savanna, grasslands, and semi-arid scrub across much of eastern and southern Africa. As its name suggests, it feeds almost exclusively on snakes and other reptiles.
