The black eagle (Ictinaetus malaiensis) is a bird of prey. Like all eagles, it is in the family Accipitridae, and is the only member of the genus Ictinaetus. They soar over forests in the hilly regions of tropical Asia, especially the Indian Subcontinent and adjoining regions. They hunt mammals and birds, particularly at their nests. They are easily identified by their widely splayed and long primary "fingers", a characteristic silhouette, slow flight and yellow ceres and legs that contrast with their dark feathers.
