Harpy eagle

The Harpy Eagle is a Neotropical species of eagle.

It usually inhabits tropical lowland rainforests in the upper canopy layer. Destruction of its natural habitat has seen it vanish from many parts of its former range, and it is nearly extirpated in Central America. In Brazil, the Harpy Eagle is also known as Royal-Hawk.
