The harpy eagle is a powerful bird of prey found in the rainforests of the Americas. Known for its impressive size, it soars through the upper canopy layers. Sadly, habitat loss has made it rare in many areas where it once thrived.

  • It is the largest bird of prey in its range.
  • It lives in the emergent canopy layer of rainforests.
  • It has nearly disappeared from much of Central America.
