No one can deny the harpy eagle’s remarkable appearance, what with its expressive face, feathered collar, and black and grey tones.

Its towering stature and expansive wing spread more than make up for its unusual appearance.

These formidable raptors can soar to heights of 3 feet, 5 inches and a wingspan of 7 feet, 4 inches.Many have mistakenly believed that the enormous beings depicted in the photo are actually humans in disguise rather than animals.

Due to its unusual appearance and enormous size, the Harpy Eagle has become a well-known figure online.

A female Harpy Eagle can weigh anything from thirteen to twenty pounds, while a female bald eagle can weigh as little as twelve pounds.

 

Note that a male Harpy Eagle will typically weigh 9–13 pounds, which is lower than a female eagle’s weight because eagles are naturally stockier.

The tropical lowland rainforests of Mexico, Brazil, and northern Argentina are home to these uncommon birds, that inhabit the upper canopy of these trees.

Take heed of the Harpy Eagle’s formidable claws if its gothic appearance wasn’t intimidating enough.

 

At 5 inches in length, the hind talons are longer and wider than grizzly bear claws.

Considering its immense power, it’s not surprising that the Harpy Eagle holds the highest position in its food chain.

 

Although it never flies great distances, this raptor’s favored prey is sloths and monkeys.

 

Their ability to conserve energy allows them to easily lift small animals up to 17 pounds in weight.

 

Eаgles like these hunt silently, rаrely mаking а sоund аs they perch оn а perch аnd wаit fоr prey tо pаss by.

 

They cаn eаsily swооp dоwn аnd steаl their meаl becаuse they cаn reаch speeds оf up tо fifty miles per hоur.

 

Because their habitat in the Amazon is dwindling due to deforestation, harpy eagles are unfortunately becoming increasingly scarce across Latin America.
