All birds of prey pursue other animals for food. What sets them apart from birds such as kingfishers and albatross-who also prey on other animals-are their hooked beaks used to tear apart flesh and their sharp talons, which allow them to catch larger prey than regular birds. They are often referred to as raptors, which comes from the Latin word raptare meaning “to seize and carry off” In this guide, we’ll explore 13 types of raptor including eagles, old-world vultures, new-world vultures, the beautiful secretary bird and owls.
