The Secretary Bird (Sagitarrius Serpentarius) is a member of the family of birds where Eagles, Hawks, Falcons, and Vultures are from. The Secretary Bird has a primarily terrestrial way of life, using its long legs to hunt snakes and trot menacingly across the savannahs of Africa. When they hunt snakes they puff out their wings and make themselves look bigger than they actually are to distract the snake. Once the snake is focused on the bird's wings the Secretary Bird kicks the snake with their specifically built stilt legs that usually kill the snake on the first blow. They are still capable of flight and fly to the tops of Acacia trees to nest. They aren't especially social except for breeding where they form monogamist pairs. I first learned of the Secretary Bird in Zoo Tycoon 2's African Adventure pack and since then I have been fascinated with this incredibly unique species. To my dismay, they have experienced a sharp decline in numbers, leading them to go from lower risk just a decade ago, to now endangered. The primary causes for this sharp decline are habitat degradation and fragmentation. The sharp decline is worrying a lot of conservationists. I would love for this species to be represented in Planet Zoo and their plight to be heard and given a spotlight in the game. I hope you guys enjoyed learning about these unique birds as much I did.
