Impressionante, mi chiedo che razza di volatile possa aver creato uno squarcio del genere sulla fusoliera?

Probably Kori Bustard

Judging by the size of the damage (and a couple of grey feathers), I would guess that species involved would be a Kori Bustard (aka Korhaan), which is a pretty common species in that part of the world. (Largest flying bird in Africa) Adult males can reach up to 18Kg (40-odd pounds)
