One of the birds of prey that we saw most often was the Wallace's hawk-eagle. This individual had perched near a rest house in the national park in Sepilok. This is a medium-sized eagle with a body length of 46 centimeters. Its head is adorned with a thin tuft that is held upright. How it hunts is not completely clear, but it probably chooses a vantage point like this and then lunges at its prey. Its food consists of birds, bats, squirrels, rats and lizards.
