Harpy Eagle facts: big burbs | Animal Fact Files
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2020
- Harpy eagles are some of the largest eagles living on our planet. They boast wingspans up to seven feet (2.1m) and can easily catch a mammal the size of Chester! These big birds are considered monogamous for life, and a pair will build a nest in the tallest tree in their territory. Each year they'll add to the nest until it becomes big enough that a human could lay down in it! They lay more than one egg per brood, but only end up raising one chick to adulthood.
Scientific Name: Harpia harpyja
Range: South and Central America
Size: 7 foot (2.1m) wingspan; 15 pounds (6.8kg) in weight
Diet: monkeys, sloths, deer, rodents, iguanas, toucans, parrots, etc.
Lifespan: 30+ years

1:52 5-inch talons! That's huge, and a little bit scary.
That is such an incredible bird! Thank you so much for this episode.
I was reading about a researcher who got clawed by those talons! Super scary.
@@AnimalFactFiles Wow! Scary indeed!
They can be bigger than a grizzlie's claws but harpy eagles are surprisingly friendly to humans which sadly makes them easy targets for hunters and or poachers.
Ooooooh my godness
Young harpy eagles train their hunting abilities by picking off sloths. This is a massive thing to overlook.
Ahh that's really cool! We actually didn't come across that while reading about them. Would love to learn more about this if you could link me!!
Calpsotoma Up to 80% of it's diet is sloth, I believe. Amazing.
Mop mm
Excellent production. Short and concise report on such a majestic, magnificent bird. Great job, I subscribed.
Harpy Eagle is my spirit animal!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!! They're beautiful animals. 😊
Hi animal fact files!
Thanks for sending my video request for the world to see!
I decided that you were so nice to me, so I have to be nice to you!
I’ll tell my whole family and other people I know to sub and like to this channel!
By the way, can you do birds-of-paradise next?
I tried telling Animalogic to send the vid to the world, but they wouldn’t reply.
Thanks for all the support, Trevon! We have birds of paradise on our list to make in the future. =)
Thanks!
By the way, love the vid!
Fascinating, what an awesome creature !
Another interesting video with good imagery. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Lol, 2:28. Hahahaha. Omgerd. Funny.
Thanks for credits
BURBS? BAHAHAHAHA.. sorry, very good video tho ! Always. But burbs.
Their talons are the size of grizzly bear paws
Great to know why the female is larger than the male - do they have different coloring or feathers also? Another awesome video! Thanks!
The males and females look alike, the boys are just a bit smaller. =) Glad you enjoyed it!
That's great

Thanks so much!
I want what about more animal
That's a Big Bird.
Martial Eagles, do martial eagle next
❤
Yeeees please
This eagle reminds me of the giant golden eagle from The rescuers down under. The disney movie. Idk why this bird is grey and black. That bird was white and gold. Idk I'm weird.
I can totally see it. I feel like it's the eyes. Those shots of Cody in the nest with Marahuté come to mind specifically, like when she turns her head upside down.
@@AnimalFactFiles yayyy. I'm so happy someone got the reference. Lol its definitely the eyes. They have a personality on them and it reminds me of her.
That bit about the second egg is pretty sad. I wonder if it's against the rules to swipe the second egg and become a bird master.
Yeah nature is brutal. =(
In Brazil there are stories that these things used to eat kids younger than 2 years old
Oh that would be enough to keep me out of the woods as a kid!
Yikes
And creeepy
Well i know that harpy eafles rarley attack humans
okay
