  Theblack-chested snake eagle (Circaetus pectoralis) is a large Africanbird of prey in the familyAccipitridae. It resembles other snake eagles and was formerly consideredconspecific with theshort-toed andBeaudouin's snake eagles, to which it is closely related. As well as feeding on snakes, which may be swallowed while still alive, it feeds on lizards, small mammals, frogs and insects. It typically perches in an elevated position ready to swoop silently to capture its prey, before returning to its perch to eat.
