The long-crested eagle is an African bird of prey that is characterized by long, shaggy crest feathers on its head. It lives throughout mid- to southern-Africa, mainly near forest edges and moist areas, with home ranges varying depending on available food and habitat. As a raptor, it commonly eats smaller mammals but also consumes other vertebrates and invertebrates. This particular long-crested eagle was photographed in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.
