The Harpy Eagle is the largest eagle and the most powerful bird of prey in the world. It is a magnificent meat-eater that lives in Central and South American rainforests . This large eagle makes whistling and clicking calls. It is an endangered species because of the fragmentation and destruction of its habitat, and also because of hunting.
Females are about a third larger than males.
The eagle dives down onto its prey and catches it with outstretched, clawed feet. The incubation period is about 53 to 56 days. Both parents care for the young.
