"How
can you tell the male fish eagle from the near identical female? Well if
your eyes can judge it well enough he is a little smaller (as is the way
with all male eagles). Alternatively you can use your ears - the male
has a higher pitched call, and when calling as a pair the female tends
to call first."
"Each
year steppe eagles come all the way from places like Russia at the top
of the world, down to Namibia at the bottom. They arrive in time for the
rains so they can feast! What brings such a mighty predator all this
way? Termites. I can not help thinking this is a damming statement about
winter life in Russia. An individual eagle can eat over 2000 termites a
day." |
