  1. Fantastic. Whilst on the topic of epic birds of prey, I recently saw BBC's "earthflight" series. Well recommended if you want a look into the world of such birds. Posted 12 years ago

Verreaux's Eagle, alternatively known as the Black Eagle, is a large bird of prey. This eagle lives in hilly and mountainous regions of southern and eastern Africa , and very locally in Western Asia. The name commemorates the French naturalist Jules Verreaux, who visited southern Africa in the early 18th century.
