Unique Traits and Natural Behavior


The crested serpent eagle (Spilornis cheela) lives in many parts of South and Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. It usually stays near forest edges and wooded areas.
This bird has several unique features:
- Very sharp eyesight to spot prey
- Strong talons and a curved beak
- A raised crest on its head
- A loud and clear call
Because it feeds on snakes, reptiles, and small mammals, this eagle helps control animal populations. As a result, it plays an important role in keeping nature balanced.
