With a 7-foot wingspan and speeds up to 50 miles an hour, the harpy eagle is an apex predator in the wild.
The harpy eagle is considered one of the most powerful eagles of the over 100 different species of these birds of prey.
They have been found living in the jungles of Mexico all the way down to Northern Argentina. They need the space of larger trees in the canopy of lowland tropical rainforests. It is here where the harpy eagle makes its nest.
They use the tallest trees in the jungle to construct their home. This nest, which may be constructed from sticks, branches, plants and animal fur will be used multiple times and will continually be added to, creating an enormous dwelling that can fit a human.
