        serpentarius}), native of South Africa, but now
        naturalized in the West Indies and some other tropical
        countries. It has a powerful hooked beak, a crest of long
        feathers, and a long tail. It feeds upon reptiles of
        various kinds, and is much prized on account of its habit
        of killing and devouring snakes of all kinds. Called also
