Long Crested Eagle - The Glamourous Hairstyle!

The Long Crested Eagle can be spotted across Kenya

The long crested eagle as the name suggests, can be easily identified by its elongated feathered crest found on the crown of its head. The eagle can be spotted in various national parks across Kenya and this raptor is actually quite cool to watch especially when it shifts its head from side to side... its fashionable feathered hair style follows in a stylish yet entertaining manner.

It can usually be spotted perched on a tree scanning the ground for its next meal. Their primary diet consists of small mammals, small birds and reptiles such as lizards.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
