カンムリワシの狩り(動画あり)
天地返しの始まったサトウキビ畑でカンムリワシがオオヒキガエルを襲っていました。毒が心配されるヒキガエルですが、カンムリワシの獲物のかなりの量を占めています。腹から食って毒腺のあたりは食わないのは、カンムリワシが本能的に毒の怖さを知っているのでしょうか。
It was tearing into the cane toad from inside the mouth and eating it. Compared with the Crested Serpent Eagle, you can see just how large the cane toad is.
The calls of another Crested Serpent Eagle could be heard in the distance, so it was eating nervously. It worked through the prey in order: tongue, oesophagus and stomach, then heart and lungs, then the forelegs.
It seemed bothered by the distant Crested Serpent Eagle calls, grabbed the prey, and disappeared into the forest. I wanted to see what was left when it finished eating, but… ^^;
A Crested Serpent Eagle gliding past at close range. What a magnificent bird.
