Popis:	Bateleurs (Terathopius ecaudatus), Steppe Eagles (Aquila nipalensis), and Tawny Eagles (Aquila rapax) were observed consuming termites during a termite emergence on 30 December 2012 in Mkomazi National Park and on 20 May 2013 in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. This behavior is well known in Steppe and Tawny eagles, but these are the first records of Bateleurs using termites as a food source.
