Thanks for watching...

This man look a like bird is called a harpy eagle

The upper side of the harpy eagle is covered with slate-black feathers and the underside is mostly white
A broad black band across the upper breast separates the gray head from the white belly. The head is pale grey, and is crowned with a double crest.

The upper side of the tail is black with three gray bands, while the underside of it is black with three white bands.

The males are much smaller then the females

The average weight of adult males has been reported as 4.4 to 4.8 kg against an average of 7.35 to 8.3 kg for adult females, a 35% or higher difference in mean body mass.

Harpy eagles may measure from 86.5 to 107 cm in total length and have a wingspan of 176 to 224 cm Among the standard measurements


The harpy eagle may be the largest bird species to reside in Central America

The wingspan of the harpy eagle is relatively small though the wings are quite broad, an adaptation that increases maneuverability in forested habitats and is shared by other raptors in similar habitats. The wingspan of the harpy eagle is surpassed by several large eagles who live in more open habitats

This species is largely silent away from the nest. There, the adults give a penetrating, weak scream, with the incubating males' call described as "whispy screaming.

The females' calls while incubating are similar, but are lower-pitched. While approaching the nest with food, the male calls out "rapid chirps, goose-like calls, and occasional sharp screams". Vocalization in both parents decreases as the nestlings age, while the nestlings become more vocal.


Rare throughout its range, the harpy eagle is found from Mexico but almost extinct, through Central America and into South America to as far south as Argentina.

In rainforests, they live in the emergent layer. The eagle is most common in Brazil where it is found across the entire national territory. With the exception of some areas of Panama, the species is almost extinct in Central America, subsequent to the logging of much of the rainforest there.

The harpy eagle inhabits tropical lowland rainforests and may occur within such areas from the canopy to the emergent vegetation.
