Elegant and fearsome, the African fish eagle is one of the most iconic birds of prey on the African continent. Easily recognizable by its contrasting plumage—white head, brown body, and dark wings—it is often nicknamed the "bald eagle" and reigns supreme along lakes and rivers.
A specialist in aquatic hunting, it spots fish from several dozen meters above the ground before diving down to seize them with its powerful talons. Surprisingly, its piercing cry is so distinctive that it is considered the "voice of Africa" and frequently resonates in wildlife documentaries. Monogamous, the fish eagle forms lasting pairs and reuses its giant nests for several years.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the African fish eagle: detailed plumage, outstretched talons and majestic appearance. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent exciting stories or educate children about the richness of African wildlife.
