Secretary bird
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Secretary Bird is a terrestrial bird of prey. It is usually found in African savannas and open grasslands.
Diet [change]
The Secretary Bird hunts African snakes. It is known to hunt even venomous cobras and other reptiles. The Secretary Bird claws are weak and blunt, so to make a kill, it stomps on its victim, breaking its neck.
Size [change]
Standing up, the Secretary Bird is nearly 4.5 feet (1.3 m) tall.[1]
