Dame Nature Enjoys Nothing More Than Showing Off Just How Formidable She Can Be

Have you ever heard of the harpy eagle? It is by far the world’s largest eagle. They are typically found in South America. When spread out, its wingspan reaches up to 6 feet. They terrorize deer, monkeys, and sloths in the Amazonian wild and play a big role in maintaining its ecosystem.

Forget about their labels; they are not frightening and can be completely quiet when hidden away from their nesting sites. Animals of this species will feel some fear; however, as the top predator in its ecosystem, it is a danger to animals roughly its size. Because of its appearance and size, the bird became the national symbol of Panama.
