Classification: Genus Haliaeetus (Haliaeetus); Subfamily True hawks (Accipitrinae); Family Accipitridae (Accipitridae)General:
The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer)[2] or the African sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. It is the national bird of Namibia and Zambia. As a result of its large range, it is known in many languages.[3] Examples of names include:
nkwazi in Chewa, aigle pêcheur in French,[4] hungwe in Shona, inkwazi in isiZulu, and 'ntšhu' (pronounced "ntjhu") in Northern Sotho. This species may resemble the bald eagle in appearance; though related, each species occurs on different continents, with the bald eagle being resident in North America.
