Harpy Eagle

==Summary==
The Harpy Eagle is among the largest of the extant eagles in the wild. It resides in canopies ranging from southern Mexico all the way into Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Destruction of its natural habitat caused it to vanish from many parts of its former range and nearly extirpated it from many parts of Central America.

Speed: Superhuman (Can fly around 50 miles per hour for a short period of time) 
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human, Average Human grip strength (A harpy has a grip force of over 50 kg with its talons)
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level 
Durability: Below Average Human level 
Stamina: Unknown 
Range: Below Standard Melee Range 
Standard Equipment: Their wings and talons 
Intelligence: Animalistic 
Standard Tactics: Most commonly, harpy eagles used perch hunting, where they keep an eye out for prey while taking short flights from tree to tree. Upon spotting prey, the eagle swoops down and grabs it. Sometimes, harpy eagles may sit and wait for long periods of time in hopes to catch prey.
Weaknesses: Like with other birds, they have hollow bones, which are easier to damage than regular bones.
