The martial eagle is Africa’s largest and most powerful eagle, with a wingspan that can exceed 7 feet and the strength to take down prey as large as small antelope or monkeys. As an apex predator, the martial eagle plays a vital role in balancing ecosystems, but it’s under threat from habitat loss and persecution, leading to sharp population declines in recent years. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 2500, f/5.6 at 1/80th of a second.
