In Kenya, Martial Eagles Hunt Lion Cubs For Lunch

Martial eagles, with wingspans that can exceed six feet, can take out young impalas or gazelles. Recently, researchers have seen them targeting another species’ young.

In December 2012, tour guides in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve witnessed a series of killings targeting one of the savannah’s top predators. An adult martial eagle followed a pride of lions for weeks, waiting for the right time to swoop in and kill three cubs in total.

“This is an eagle really looking at these lions and thinking, ‘I’m going to systematically hunt these lions,’” says R. Stratton Hatfield, a Ph.D. candidate at Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands.

A Juvenile Martial Eagle snatched this three-week-old lion cub on March 15, 2019, in the Mara North Conservancy, Kenya. No one saw the bird kill the cub. Based on the fledgling eagle's behavior, researchers suspect that an adult female gave the cub to the fledgling. Photograph By Jes Lefcourt

While the supposed kings of the jungle may dominate the land around them, this incident and others like it show that African lions (Panthera leo) may not always sit on top of the food chain when it comes to the skies. In fact, martial eagles (Polemaetus bellicosus) likely prey on lion cubs when the opportunity arises, Hatfield and his colleagues recently reported in Ecology and Evolution.

“It’s really a testament to the predatory nature of martial eagles,” Hatfield says.

Queen of the Skies

Martial eagles’ wingspans can exceed six feet. Adult females weigh more than 10 pounds, while adult males typically weigh around seven pounds. Though comparable in size and ecology to golden eagles, the species often kills larger prey. The birds swoop in and dig their razor-like talons into their prey’s spine at the back of their skull, sometimes taking out young impalas or gazelles far above their weight class. “[Their talons] are just massive killing utensils,” Hatfield says. “From a predator perspective, they are impressive in what they’re able to do.”

Hatfield’s team only recently realized the birds also preyed on other predators. The team collected seven records, including the 2012 incident, that describe martial eagles preying on lion cubs, resulting in the deaths of nine cubs and one near miss. Most of these episodes probably involve larger females, Hatfield suspects, though two records included juveniles preying on cubs.

The earliest case comes from 2008, when a photographer captured an image of an eagle feeding on a freshly killed cub, while the most recent was in 2023, when a safari guide saw a juvenile eagle hunt and kill a cub large enough that the raptor couldn’t fly off with it.

Risk Versus Reward

Despite their aerial antics, martial eagles are typically risk averse. “When they go to take a lion cub, it’s with a lot of recognition of the risks,” Hatfield says. But not all records seem to show this careful calculation.

In the one failed killing, a martial eagle swoops in to snatch a six-week-old cub right next to its mother. The lioness spots the approaching danger, and “literally leaps in the air to try to take the martial out of the sky,” Hatfield describes. “You can just see the lioness’s eyes lock onto something, then she crouches and launches.”

The eagle dodged the counterattack, and didn’t get the cub, but the whole maneuver “was just stupid.” Hatfield speculates that the raptor didn’t see the lioness. Episodes like this are so dangerous for the eagle, “you wonder if they are doing something ever just for fun,” he says.

Amy Dickman, a conservation biologist at Oxford University in the U.K., isn’t surprised that eagles will go after cubs again and again if the strategy proves successful. She also leads Lion Landscapes, a nonprofit focused on coexistence of humans and wildlife in Kenya and Tanzania, and says the conclusions of Hatfield’s team “seem sound.”

As far as the lions are concerned, “it’s just another kind of risk that lions have to deal with,” Dickman says, like predation from hyenas or male lions from competing prides. While she doesn’t think the eagles pose a conservation threat to the big cats, an individual pride in a given area might feel pressure if a martial eagle has honed in on their cubs as a food source. “It shows you how interesting and diverse the natural world is,” Dickman says.

Predators or Prey?

Martial eagles aren’t picky when it comes to big cats. Some have taken cheetah and leopard kittens, as well. Hatfield also notes the risk probably goes both ways—lions could and probably have hunted adult eagles or nests. At least one YouTube video shows a leopard killing a martial eagle.

“The relationships between top predators at the top of the [food] pyramid are complicated,” Hatfield says.

Martial eagles are considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and Hatfield hopes that studies like this bring more attention to their plight. Like other large raptors in Africa, the species faces habitat loss, poaching for parts, electrocution on power lines and persecution.

“We are all so focused on the elephant and lion and rhino,” Hatfield says. “A lot of these big eagles and vultures are going to go extinct right in front of our eyes.”

Regina Mills is trapped in a life she never wanted. At 33, she works tirelessly for her mother, Cora, at the family’s powerful company—a position she loathes but feels obligated to uphold. Her relationship with her mother is strained at best, and her thoughts often drift to the father she hasn't seen in 28 years. Henry Mills, her beloved father, disappeared from her life when Cora took her away after their bitter divorce. He left for South Africa, where he built a new life running a safari, and she hasn't heard from him since.

One day, Regina receives an unexpected letter from a South African lawyer. Her father has passed away, leaving her his pride and joy: the safari. The news shakes her to the core. Despite the anger and resentment she feels for being abandoned, something compels her to pack her bags and head to South Africa.

Upon arrival, she is greeted by the wild beauty of the African savannah—a stark contrast to the cold, sterile world she's used to. But as soon as she steps foot on the safari, she clashes with Emma Swan, a fiercely independent and stubborn worker who has been with the safari for years. Emma isn't thrilled about Regina's sudden appearance, and they quickly butt heads over how things should be run.

As the days pass, Regina begins to uncover secrets about her father and herself that she never imagined. Meanwhile, despite their initial animosity, the chemistry between Regina and Emma becomes undeniable. Sparks fly, and beneath the tension, an unexpected bond forms.

But with Cora trying to pull Regina back into the corporate world and Emma wrestling with her own past, they’ll need to navigate more than just the wild terrain to find a path forward—both for the safari and for themselves. Will they give in to the passion growing between them, or will their differences tear them apart before they even begin?

I turned 30 being surrounded by strangers in a foreign country halfway across the world.

I’m going through all my pictures and I can’t believe half of the things I got to experience out there. 4 African countries, 6 safari drives, 1 walking safari tour, zip lining from Zambia to Zimbabwe, flying in a helicopter for the first time, camping in the middle of the bush & having a night out in one of the most dangerous cities in South Africa.

This trip was unforgettable. I’m so glad I did it. Being surrounded by other adventurous souls made me realize how much I love & missed traveling, not vacationing. I feel realigned & ready for this new era. I’m already planning my next adventure. 🥰🫶🏼🇿🇦🇿🇼🇿🇲🇧🇼

To sway to a soca beat, sipping local rum around a bonfire on the beach. St. Kitts is small enough to see in a day, and big enough to explore for a lifetime.

Visit the Capital: Learning more about this charming city is simple. Book one of the local walking tours and let the rich storytelling transport you through history. Tour highlights will include some of St. Kitts’ most significant landmarks. Independence Square dates back to the 1700s and once served as Basseterre’s municipal center, and today, it serves as a site for cultural events. If you’re looking to take a day trip to sister island Nevis, make your way to the recently renovated Basseterre Bus and Ferry Terminal and take the ferry to Charlestown.

Brimstone Hall Fortress National Park: This is a site of historical, cultural and architectural significance.

The walls are predominantly made of stone, painstakingly carved from Brimstone Hill’s hard volcanic rock. The mortar was produced from the limestone that covers much of the middle and lower slopes.

Tangalle

I've been taking it easy in Tangalle. In part because it's pretty hot in the sun and away from the shore.

I walked downtown to find an ATM. Most of the restaurants here are small and don't take credit cards, and I suspect the rest of the trip will be the same. I looked at my future stays, and it appears there should be more ATMs nearby, so I don't think I will need to worry about cash.

As I was walking through town, the local schools got out. There is a large girls' school, and many girls are standing along the road waiting for buses.

The evening view of the shore from my balcony is nice.

Several national parks are within an hour or so of here. I was scheduled to visit Lunugamvehera National Park this morning, but the roads there are flooded, so I went to Udawalawe National Park instead. One advantage of Lunugamvehera is that it is supposed to be less crowded. That was definitely not the case with Udawalawe.

Seeing this long line of tourist trucks ahead of us was disheartening. But I soon saw the problem. This group of elephants were calmly standing in the road blocking all traffic.

It took quite a while for them to decide to mosey off into the woods.

One thing I have liked about safaris is the chance to see birds. My detail vision is poor, and I'm red-colorblind, so most of the time, birds are just spots flying through the sky. Previously, I had brought my super-zoom camera, which is great for wildlife, but I decided not to carry it for a month for a 3-hour excursion. So my photos here are not the best, but the longer telephoto of the new iPhone helped.

The red-wattle lapwings got close enough.

As did this Kingfisher and this green bee-eater.

And this Red Jungle Fowl. My guide was careful to say it wasn't a chicken, but clearly, chickens are descended from them. As a note, the Red Jungle Fowl is the national bird of Sri Lanka.

There are peacocks all over.

A couple were displaying as we went past.

The peahens tended to be in the woods, where they were more challenging to see, but I assume they were there.

On the tollway down here, there was a huge sign warning drivers of peacocks on the road.

Other traffic jams were caused by huge troops of macaque monkeys.

These are just a few of the troop; I estimate there were over 100.

One crocodile was in the distance, so it was a poor photo.

More elephants, including these two males, were doing a slow face-off on the road. We eventually just turned around.

We ended with a large herd of Sri Lankan Axis deer.

I was surprised that they were all spotted, like an American fawn.

The safari was not as exciting as an African one, but interesting. After the first group of elephants blocking the road, the vehicles dispersed in various directions, so congestion was not an issue.

Tomorrow, I have another driver taking me up into the central highlands. My first stop there will be in Ella.

Tanzania Safari Price - How Much Does a Safari in Tanzania Cost?

Have you ever wished you could go on a holiday in Tanzania? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that allows you to witness some of the most incredible wildlife on the planet. But understanding the Tanzania Safari Cost is key to planning your adventure effectively.

The cost of a Tanzania safari depends on several factors, such as the length of your trip, the type of accommodation you choose, and the activities you include in your itinerary. On average, you can expect to spend between $200 and $1,000 per person per day.

As you get ready to explore Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, let’s take a closer look at the factors that influence safari costs and how they shape your overall experience. Planning wisely can help you make the most of your trip without compromising on quality.

Accommodation: The choice between basic camping, mid-range lodges, or luxurious tented camps significantly impacts overall expenses. Upgrading to more luxurious options often increases the cost.

Transportation: Different transport options, such as shared group tours or private vehicles, vary in cost. Additionally, choosing to fly or drive between parks affects the budget due to differences in time and convenience.

Park Fees and Permits: Tanzania's national parks have entry fees, which can vary depending on the location. The number of parks you visit and activities like guided walks or specialized safaris requiring separate permits contribute to the total cost.

Seasonal Variations: Timing your safari influences prices. Peak seasons, coinciding with the dry months and the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration, often mean higher rates due to increased demand. Alternatively, the rainy season might offer reduced prices, but wildlife sightings could be limited.

Guide and Tour Operator Costs: A knowledgeable guide significantly enhances the safari experience. Guides and tour operators with better reputations and services usually come at higher costs.

Additional Expenses: Consider other costs like meals (if not included), drinks, gratuities, and optional activities that might add to the total cost.

Understanding these price factors allows for better planning and budgeting for a Tanzania Safari. By researching, comparing different packages, and being clear about what is included, one can strike a balance between cost and a fulfilling safari adventure amidst Tanzania's stunning landscapes and wildlife.

With African Scenic Safaris you never have to worry about your safari costs in Tanzania. We know what you want, so we customize your itinerary to meet those goals. You will never be let down on your trip to Tanzania, known as the "gem of Africa." Just pick one of our custom services.
