The secretary bird, a beautiful creature that seems to come out of a fantasy world

    Pixar here you have your next star.
    The secretary bird is a bird related to eagles and hawks. The name refers to the similarity of its crests of black feathers on the head, much like the cope full of feathers and pencils held in their wigs by British secretaries of the 18th century.
    A characteristic characteristic of this species, which highlights its beauty and expression, are its long black lashes. This bird is native to Africa and extends throughout the continent, especially south of the Sahara.
    Muchos fotógrafos amantes de la naturaleza, han dedicado parte de su vida a perseguir a esta ave y capturar en fotografías su impactante belleza, uno de estos fotógrafos es Brian Connolly, quién ha quedado impactado por la imponente actitud del pájaro secretario.
    From what I've seen, this bird is really unique. They hunt snakes on the ground crushing them with their legs and heels, which look like dinosaurs. Also, moving quickly and taking focused photos is always a challenge- Brian comments to Bored Panda.
    These birds are carnivorous and diurnal, they have a great ability to hunt African prairie snakes. Unlike the majority of birds that hunt, this one does it in the earth, rarely it hunts something being in the air, they generally use their paticas and claws, also it is supported in its long and strong beak.
    They can walk up to 30 kilometers a day looking for snakes, insects and other animals to eat.

    They also consume lizards, amphibians, rodents and bird eggs. The small prey are devoured whole and quickly, the larger ones are usually crushed against the ground first so that ingesting them is easier. They usually measure 1.35 m in height, weigh approximately 3.3 kilos and have a wingspan of 2 meters. Its head is of a small size and its plumage is a light bluish gray, with black feathers on wings and on part of the legs and head.
    And as you have to assume, their legs are very long and strong.
    They prefer the grasslands, steppes and savannahs, because they look for sites of short grass to be able to hunt with more facility. Avoid forests or places that have abundant vegetation, it restricts their movements and difficulty to hunt to feed.

    The way in which these birds are related, whether to woo or simply play, consists of chasing and constantly moving the wings, which remain extended.
    The females lay between 2 and 3 eggs, which are incubated for 45-50 days. The secretary bird is admired in Africa for its incredible appearance, so much so that it is part of the emblem of Sudan and the coat of arms of South Africa.
