Diet & Feeding
Savannah Hawks feed on a variety of small mammals, crabs, amphibians, reptiles and often snakes (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001);
Daggett's Eagles may have had a similar diet (Olson 2007)
Long legs (a characteristic of the Daggett's Eagle and the Savannah Hawk) may be, in part, an adaptation for keeping snakes at a safe distance.
Daggett's Eagles probably weren't scavengers (Olson 2007)
