Verreaux's eagle-owl
Reptiles and amphibians are occasional prey for Verreaux's eagle-owls. Various snakes have been included in their diet ranging from the small, innocuous brown house snake ("Boaedon fuliginosus") at to large and venomous Egyptian cobras ("Naja haje") weighing over . Frogs were amongst the prominent prey recorded for suburban-breeding eagle-owls in South Africa, namely the African red toad ("Schismaderma carens") and the guttural toad ("Amietophrynus gutturalis"). Unidentified frogs were fairly significant in the diet from Kenya. The largest herpetological prey known is the Nile monitor ("Varanus niloticus"), at a mean mature mass of , these primarily diurnal reptiles can provide a fulfilling meal but can be hard to subdue even if ambushed unaware. Predation on fish has been reported but no fish have been observed firsthand in dietary studies. A surprisingly wide range of invertebrates have been reported in the diet for this species. In some cases, they may prey on insects as small as termites and even smaller invertebrates have been recorded in pellets such as orbatid mites and "Sarcophaga" flies, but are likely consumed incidentally while eating a larger item, either from carrion or the stomach of the prey itself. Unidentified scorpions, spiders and millipedes have also been reported in their foods. Most attacks on insects involve large ground beetles or dung beetles. Verreaux's eagle-owl has been known to feed on dung beetles among herds of African buffalo ("Syncerus caffer") by night, boldly diving below the massive bovids’ legs, and will readily feed on beetles among elephant dung when available.
