This is the moment a cheeky eagle steals its peer's lunch.

The footage, captured on July 31, shows two eagles on a road stalking a snake winding on the pavement.

All of a sudden, one of the eagles springs off the ground and launches an attack on the snake.

The eagle then flies away with the reptile in its legs.

The clip was filmed in Kruger National Park in South Africa.

This Brown Snake Eagle(Circaetus cinereus) stole the snake from a Bateleur Eagle and flew off with it ! A remarkable sighting indeed ! The Brown Snake Eagle feeds mainly on snakes, being able to kill venomous snakes such as cobras. They have natural protection against bites, with thick-skinned legs. Besides snakes, the Brown Snake Eagle feeds on lizards and small mammals. We can only speculate which Kruger Park snake it was as there are 54 different snakes in Kruger National Park. "This video was filmed this year on our second trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa. We were driving to the lodge and saw the eagle and suddenly the bird stole the snake and flew away" (We also have the unedited version).
