The harpy eagle is one of the largest and most powerful birds in the world, growing up to 1 meter long with a 2.5 meter wingspan. It lives in scattered forests throughout Central and South America, where it searches the canopy for prey like sloths, monkeys, and rodents using its massive talons. The harpy eagle mates for life and lays two eggs, though usually only one chick survives, but its habitat is being destroyed by logging, threatening the species.
