Malagasy crowned eagle (SciiFii)

The Malagasy crowned eagle (Stephanoaetus mahery), also known as the Madagascar crowned hawk-eagle, is a large species of bird of prey that has inhabited Madagascar and was once extinct, but has since been brought from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Madagascar, once many modern lemur species have recovered from human activities, to help boost biodiversity. The males are about the same size as the female African crowned eagle, but females are slightly larger, weighing up to 7 kg (15 lb), or about the size of a large female golden eagle. Since there are no native monkeys of Madagascar, the Malagasy crowned eagle has adapted to prey on lemurs. The conservation status of the Malagasy crowned eagle is Vulnerable due to slight habitat loss and historic poaching by hunters for its eggs and feathers, but thanks to conservationists, the habitats of the Malagasy crowned eagle is being protected as well as being restored, and the Malagasy crowned eagles themselves are also protected, allowing their popultions to recover.
