With A Wingspan Of 7 Feet, The Harpy Eagle Looks Like A Person Dressed Up In A Bird Costume.

With a 7-foot wingspan and speeds up to 50 miles an hour, the harpy eagle is an apex predator in the wild.

The harpy eagle is considered to be one of the more than
 100 different species of these birds.
They have been found throughout northern Mexico in the 
jungles of Mexico. They need large trees in 
the tropical rainforest areas. This is where the harpy 
eagle builds its nest.
They use the highest forest trees to build their houses.
 This nest, which can be constructed from 
sticks, branches, plants and animal skins, will be used
 multiple times and will be continuously 
enhanced, giving it a large habitat that can fit humans.

With a 5-inch claw (a clavicular bear's claw length 
is 3 inches) and the ability
to use 110 pounds of bone crushing pressure with feet
and locks, the Harpy Eagle is among
the best predators in the its habitat. They hunt animals
that live on trees (farmers, monkeys,
squirrels), birds, eagles and snakes.


The female sharpie can weigh up to 20 pounds, twice as much as the male. He can capture a 17-pound monkey and fly without any significant change in his flight. Men are more often the victims of small prey. To hunt, the harpies sit and wait patiently, sometimes for hours, on a perch. They have the ability to see 220 meters away and can chase their food at 50 miles per hour when attacked!

Male and Female Harpy eagles for a lifetime. The female lays her eggs every two or three years. Although the youngster launches for about six months, she stays on for another two years to learn how to be one of the best hunters in the jungle. Although the Harpy Eagle is not endangered, its numbers have diminished due to human activities such as illegal hunting and deforestation.
