The tawny eagle (Aquila rapax) is a handsome, large bird of prey that inhabits Africa. It can be observed both north and south of the Sahara desert.
The tawny eagle was once considered a relative of the steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis), however, it is now classed as its own species due to differences in anatomy particularly the length of the gape flange which never extends beyond the middle of the eye in the tawny eagle. Steppe eagles are also larger than tawny eagles, nearly twice the size, and darker in colour. |
