A common shot in South Africa is a perched pair of fish eagles. They mate for life, are abundant here, and have been on Earth since before primates. Though they look respectable, they are known to steal food from other birds, But they aren't just scavengers. Nor do they feed only on fish. They are efficient hunters, picking up ducks and other waterfowl, and birds. But they are also known for being able to carry up to 10 times their body weight, and may do so by picking up a baby crocodile or small monkey. But if you happen to see one, or a pair next to water, look carefully, and perhaps hang out for a while. They are also known to yodel duets with hippos, and it'd be a shame to miss what some call the song of South Africa.
