With its sharp eyes, the harpy eagle is very focused. The crest on its head stands upright with tension. It roams the tropical rainforests of South America, searching for prey. Not even the smallest movements escape its notice: you wouldn't want to play hide-and-seek with it! The harpy eagle looks impressive with its dark plumage and striped feathers on its legs. But beware: the crest is pointing backward. That's a warning! It means this enormous bird of prey is now very alert. What could it have seen? Perhaps the harpy eagle is about to hunt. With its powerful talons, it can even kill monkeys and carry them away! But it also enjoys being carried by its friends and will even eat from your hand!
