From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) is a bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae[2]. It was once considered to be closely related to the non-migratory tawny eagle (Aquila rapax) and the two forms have previously been treated as conspecific. They were split based on pronounced differences in morphology and anatomy[3][4][5]. Two molecular studies, each based on a very small number of genes, indicate that the species are distinct but disagree over how closely related they are [6].
