The harpy eagle's talons can be as big as a grizzly bear's claws. | National Geographic

Harpy Eagles! These are the largest and most powerful raptors in the Americas and I had the opportunity to observe a nest in the Amazon. Some mornings are quiet (like this one) but then before you know it, the mother returns with a monkey in her massive claws for breakfast. Unfortunately habitat loss and hunting are still major problems for these incredible eagles. #harpy #eagle #nest #canon #Peru #Tambopata #wildlife #conservation #raptor #bird #600mm | Next Gen Scientist
