Identify this bird
I am a very large bird of prey, with a length of 76-90 cm (30-36 in), an average weight of 5.2 kg (11.6 lbs) and a wingspan of 190-260 cm (6.25-8.5 ft).
I am (Polemaetus bellicosus) Africa’s largest bird of this type and am the only member of the genus Polemaetus. My preferred habitat is the semi-desert and open savannah. I cautiously avoid dense forests, however I need trees to nest in.
