Why it matters
The Black-throated Wattle-eye is a distinctive member of the Platysteiridae family, recognized by the bright, fleshy wattles above its eyes that give the species its name. It is primarily found in the dense, shaded understory of African forests, where its rounded wings and notched tail assist in the agile, short-distance flights required to navigate thick foliage.
