Largely solitary or in pairs, adult Martial Eagles are generally sedentary within their 125-150 km2 home range. This species is Africa’s largest eagle and highly aerial, typically hunting on the wing, soaring and diving from a height to capture vertebrate prey on the ground. Prey includes reptiles, mammals such as squirrels, hares, hyraxes, mongooses and even small antelopes.
