L'esclafador de serps / Snake crusher
El secretari (sagittarius serpentarius) és una au de presa africana molt especialitzada: menja serps (tot i que també altres animals), i el metode de caça son els cops de peu. Aquí l'estaven provocant amb una serp de plastic, i deu ni do, quins cops l'hi donava!

==================
The secretarybird (saggitarius serpentarius) is a quite unusal bird of prey. They live in the great plains of Africa, so they prefer to walk than to fly, and have a specialized hunting method against snakes: they stomp them to the ground.
This one was provoced by a plastic snake, and really he tried to crush it to the ground.
