The White-bellied Sea Eagle is a large bird of prey found in Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and Australia. It is easily recognized by its white underbelly and underwings, contrasting sharply with its slate-gray back and wings. This eagle has a broad wingspan, measuring up to 2.2 meters (7.2 feet), and features a short, square-shaped tail.
White-bellied Sea Eagles are typically seen soaring high over water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, where they hunt for fish, which is their primary diet. They also prey on turtles, sea snakes, and water birds. These eagles are known for their spectacular hunting technique, where they swoop down over the water to snatch fish with their strong talons.
