The Martial Eagle is the largest hunting eagle in Africa, with a length of 78 to 96cm, a wingspan of 188 to 260cm and can weigh from 3 to 6kg.
It is also one of the most powerful raptors in the world and has virtually no enemies in the wild. This eagle can hunt and eat a variety of animals, from birds, reptiles (including venomous snakes and large African rock pythons) or even mammals. like wild boar.
A Martial eagle swoops down and kills a wild boar when it notices the mother’s absence. When it has grabbed the piglet with its claws, it spreads its wings to cover the prey it has just caught.
It struggled for a long time to finish off its prey. After the piglet was completely dead, it carried its prey into a bush and usually ate the meal it had just earned.
