In an opposite turn of events from the Kea, the Palm Nut Vulture or “Vulturine Fish Eagle” is an African relative of the Golden Eagle, Buzzard and Goshawk that ferociously attacks Oil Palm trees instead of preying on animals. This raptor has a specially adapted digestive system, but looks and acts just like most other eagles in every way. The massive bill cracks open the nuts, and extracts the fatty insides, which provide a viable substitute for the animal’s typical meat diet. This bird shows how fluid genetic adaptation is, and how quickly an animal can deviate from the norm.
