Where the Martial Eagle lives

The martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) is a bird of prey. It lives in Africa and is the biggest eagle in Africa, 76 to 96 cm (30–38 in) long, and its wingspan is 188–260 cm (6.2–8.5 ft) long. Because of its size, it hunts large prey, including birds as large as flamingos and mammals as large as young impala.
