Snake-Eagles and Serpent-Eagles - These eagles are clever hunters of reptiles, especially snakes of different sizes, and they may even be ophiophagous. Venomous snakes are no problem for these raptors to hunt, and they are often found in habitats such as deserts or tropical regions where snakes are more abundant.
It is important to note that these unofficial classifications are not exclusive. Many eagles that are not called "fish-eagles" still hunt fish, many eagles not called "hawk-eagles" can still look similar to hawks and many eagles not called "snake-eagles" will prey on any snakes they can catch. Because these birds have wide ranges, it is also common for a single eagle species to have several different common names
