Bateleur Eagle as Totem

The bateleur eagle is a medium-sized eagle found in the savannahs of South Africa. They are one of the well-known snake eagles, famous for their amazing aerobatic abilities from which their tilting of wings while in the air is where the name bateleur (French for ‘tight-rope walker’) probably originates. Adults pair for life, and help to raise the young together. The female, as with many birds of prey, is larger than the male. Bateleur eagles are usually silent, though they may scream or bark when excited.
