Harpy Eagle
Harpia harpyja
Harpy eagles inhabit mature tropical forests of Central and South America, especially areas with tall emergent trees for nesting. They hunt from concealed perches and fly through the canopy to seize arboreal prey such as sloths, monkeys, and large birds. Their exceptionally large talons can kill prey with a crushing grip. Despite their massive build, they are remarkably maneuverable among dense branches.
