↠ Check out also this giant otter & jaguar encounter: The harpy eagle is an apex predator in the rainforests of South America. Its size and incredible strength allow it to hunt even sloths and monkeys. But it also has a powerful chemical survival strategy. With unique nesting footage, we show how harpy eagles use leaves and branches to defend their young against disease, and learn why they’re so important to the ecosystem. They might be strong, but harpy eagles are near threatened – mainly due to habitat loss. In Brazil, Projeto Harpia is doing amazing work to protect this unique eagle species.
