BATELEUR EAGLE Terathopius ecaudatus ©Laura Quick
The Bateleur is a medium-sized eagle in the family Accipitridae. Its closest relatives are the snake eagles. It is endemic to Africa and small parts of Arabia. "Bateleur" is French for "street performer."
Bateleurs are hunters and scavengers, they will attack other species for food and will scavenge carrion. The bird is adept at finding smaller carcasses before most other scavengers. The Bateleur will hunt birds and their eggs (mainly doves and pigeons), small reptiles, small mammals (like rodents, genets and mongooses) and insects.
Bateleur Terathopius ecaudatus
Bateleur (A French word meaning Acrobat) is by far one of the most beautiful birds to see in the Kruger National Park. On our recent private Cape to Kruger tour, we had several close sightings of these marvellous birds of prey. One way to tell male and female apart is to look at the trailing edge of the wings. While both have black trailing edges, the female’s is narrow and the male’s is broad, which can be seen in this photo. Even though the Bateleur can feed on prey such as small birds, mammals and reptiles, they are also often seen feeding on carrion.
