Secretary Bird in the African Steppe

Fascinating Facts About the Secretary Bird
Unlike most birds of prey that hunt from the air, the secretary bird spends most of its day walking on the ground searching for prey. Its long legs are protected by thick scales that help guard against bites from venomous snakes. When running across open grasslands, it can achieve surprisingly high speeds while keeping its wings spread for balance.
