These medium sized eagles are local and as such are encountered in some specific sites. They are also emblematic of the ferocity and uprightness that human beings tend to ascribe to eagles. Unlike most other predators they take to carrion only rarely and hunt down prey as large as themselves frequently. They also vigorously defend their territory against much larger raptors and are fearless against crows. They are found in well wooded areas with cliffs.
