The Verreaux's eagle-owl's ear tufts can appear nearly absent. Verreaux's eagle-owl ranges from 58 to 66 cm (23 to 26 in) in total length. [3] [23] This species has been reported as having an average wingspan of 140 cm (4 ft 7 in), but Mikkola referenced this as the wingspan of a smaller male.
At the time of the photo in December 2015 it was one of two nests, the second, newer nest was a few meters higher against the cliff face. The resident eagle pair consisted of female Emonyeni and her third breeding partner, Thulani. Emonyeni was over 46 years old in 2015, as she arrived in 1970.

The first record of Verreaux's eagles at the site dates to the 1940s, though in all likelihood, they were present for many years prior. As of 2023 the garden is home to a young eagle pair, Makatsa and Mahlori, which has bred here since 2020 on a new nest. [3]
The martial eagle can be found in most of sub-Saharan Africa, wherever food is abundant and the environment favourable.With a total estimated distribution of about 26,000 km 2 (10,000 sq mi), it has a substantial distribution across Africa, giving it a somewhat broader range than other species there like the crowned eagle (Stephanoaetus coronatus) and the Verreaux's eagle (Aquila verreauxii).

Other large eagles have been confirmed to hunt adult Old World monkeys, including martial eagles, [56] Verreaux's eagles, [57] mountain hawk-eagles [58] [59] and Philippine eagles, whose generic scientific name and old common was even the monkey-eating eagle, [60] but all are believed to rely on non-primate prey for the majority of their diet.
