abstract
  • The Palm-nut vulture or vulturine fish eagle (Gypohierax angolensis), is a species large Old World vulture in the Accipitridae family. It is the only member of the genus Gypohierax. Unusual for birds of prey, it feeds mainly on the fruit of the oil palm, though it also feeds on crabs, molluscs, locusts, fish and has been known to occasionally attack domestic poultry and bats. It breeds in forest and savannah across Sub-Saharan Africa, usually near water, its range coinciding with that of the oil palm. It is quite approachable, like many African vultures, and can be seen near habitation, even on large hotel lawns in the tourist areas of countries like the Gambia.
