That bird looks like it speaks some type of ancient wisdom..but to only those who are worthy
Only those on shrooms...
Yeah, like, don't fuck with me...
Words of Wisdom
Are YOU worthy?

Don't even try.

and they hate each other... 😳
It *really* does look like a person in a bird suit, impressive animal but quite fearsome too. Great name they gave them, it's well deserved of the creatures from mythology
I definitely agree!

A magnificent bird and a national treasure. The Harpy eagle is a protected species here in Guyana, South America(bordering Brazil).
Happy they are protect such a magnificent bird
I'm glad they are protected where you are.
Yea I'm from Guyana..I try geting one as a pet but was not allowed..I had to stick wit a owl
Harpy eagles have sort of become a "symbol" of our household. They are beautiful and unique, in that they have only one chick at a time, and the chicks will often return to their parents throughout their life just to see the parents.
Since we were only able to have one child, it is kind of a cool story for our daughter and us. We tell her she has to be like a harpy eagle when she is older and never forget to visit us. :) We have a picture of a harpy eagle in our living room as well.
The Philippines eagle is the strongest and largest it’s not the harpy eagle.
That's beautiful
Beautiful story man! Hope the best for you and your family!
@@functionalml4507 depends on how one measures it. The common flatworm can be dozens of times the length of their host, us. And a green anaconda can be a tenth of our height, and yet be multiple times heavier than us. Or a clostrinum botulinum, a bacterium three dimensionally billions of times smaller than us, yet can still kill even the toughest of us. So stop your fucking pholippine propaganda, and accept the fact that we humans are statistically ahead of the harpy eagle, or the andean condor, when it comes to flying. Only then does the flying whatevernosaur you mentioned, even closely approach us.
@@functionalml4507 did anyone ask?

🙋Wait, whaaaaat??😬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She woke up pretty pissed off huh? Lol.
Actually happy
Once the harpy appeared here in my neighborhood and terrorized the neighborhood. The birds went into a frenzy trying to lure the harpy away from their nests or something. But the craziest thing is that people went to the street to see it as if it really was a mystical creature, it was huge and it flew very elegantly. This is a very rare sight to see in a big city like São Paulo But I think my proximity to the Atlantic Forest gave me this gift in the form of a sighting.
How cool. Thanks for sharing.
Yes amazing story, good that you can recognize a sighting when your presented as well! 😉
@@SweetPea4EVER At the time I didn't know which bird it was. But years later I found out about the harpy eagle and recognized it by the iconic feathers. I was quite surprised to have seen this bird on that occasion. I keep this memory with great passion. It was quite a sight.
@@bonekanj1920 se este pássaro aparecesse eu também ficava escondida em casa 😂 mas vendo da janela 😂😂😂😂
Como é? Uma harpia em São paulo ? Elas se limitam apenas a regiao norte do Brasil
I came across 2 Harpie's about 5 years ago , not knowing what they were. I just seen 2 large birds with a huge nest. At first I was scarred. To shake off the fear I just spoke to them saying ," you stay there I am going down that way and we leave each other alone." They watched me walk away.
I bet the Eagles were thinking, " You leave, we chill, don't FAFO" 🤣
@@dariynfleming5415😂😂😂
I'm from Acre, Brazil. My grandfather was once a riverside dweller and once collected rubber tree sap (latex), his father said that when he was a boy he heard about a case involving a harpy and a baby, the parents left and left the children, there were older children and babies. The harpy took the baby and took it away, when the parents returned, the father killed the harpy. My grandfather said that the child's father already suspected that this could happen because she was flying close to the place and this seemed strange for her habits. I thought it might just be a story from my grandfather, until I saw one in person and found out what kind of prey it hunts. (Forgive me if the story is not clear, my English is not good and I used Google Translate for most of the text)
I'll be honest, I had no Idea this bird existed. I am impressed and scared 😳
Ditto...

Don’t be scared they’re not after you!

Interesting that in Greek mythology Harpies lived in Crete. They are described as being human sized.
Crete used to have a species of Giant Eagle in prehistoric times.
Imagine what the first people to settle Crete thought when they first saw these birds. Or when they were first attacked by them!
We used to have an Eagle here in NZ known as the Haast Eagle.
According to legend, it was larger than a 747, breathed fire, and was able to read the minds of its victims, which included mostly elephants and entire tribes of amazons.
More reliable sources cite it as the largest known eagle, which ate 500lb Moa, and snacked on human children.
Another interesting fact is that these greek-named birds (harpies) live in a greek-named forest (Amazon).
@@vitumalatesta that is very interesting.
The word "harpy" comes from the same Greek word as "harp"-the musical instrument -that's because the strings are plucked and the mythological flying ugly women called harpies used to swoop down and pluck people up.
You have it backwards. They didn't have these birds in Greece, the birds were named after the mythological harpies
I live in Brazil, in Amazon state, this is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen in my life, but even here, its hard to see them for they live in the deep of amazon rainforest and make their nest in the tallest trees of the jungle.
I've seen a few RUclips documentaries about the Harpy Eagle and they've always mentioned its amazing size but also neglected to show comparisons to humans, animals, or other such things. Thank you for 6:55 They are indeed massive!

That's some prehistoric bird, right there.
They hit so hard in their attacks, they make an atibile thump that can be heard some distance away. I had the privilege of watching a nesting pair in Panama in 1981 while on TDY in the Army for jungle expert training at Ft Stewart.
They are scary dude, they kill full sized monkeys, could take down a human child if they had the chance.
That had to be cool to see.

I did jungle training at Ft Sherman as a Marine for 30 days in 1978. Got prickly heat in the last 2 weeks of training.

harpy eagles are literally just Irish people reincarnated as a bird. That is all I have gotten from this video.
Harpy Eagles looks like a mix between Owl and Eagle! Perfect looking bird!
I came to the comments to see if anyone else thought so too. I can see myself confusing that for an owl. Both magnificent creatures. ❤
I was fortunate enough to see a Harpy Eagle in Madidi National Park in Bolivia back in 2005. I've seen tons of Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, and other large raptors, including Andean Condors and King Vultures. While it's fantastic to see all of these, there's nothing like seeing a Harpy. Even though it's a bird, they're still intimidating as it flew not far from us. It was the experience of a lifetime.
I would have love to have seen the Haast's Eagle when it was still around.
Fantastic. The birds looks about my height.😂😂😜
@@joshuasterling2144 till it seen you that thing was big enough to eat you
@@kekoaiverson8040 Worth it..lol
When I saw the word harpy I thought this had something to do with those hags from The View.
I was fascinated by the Harpy Eagle and the Philippine Eagle as child in the 70's, bird books back then where mostly illustrations, and very few real photo's, I could never grasp the size of these Eagles untill later on in life, truly magnificent Eagles.
Yes I begin to draw from books illustration, today I become professional illustrator.
I get to see live Philippine Eagles some 30 years ago, they were majestic and really huge. Their eyes were fearsome as if scanning the area and waiting for someone to make a wrong move.

I’m very intrigued by this Eagle because this is the first time I think I’ve ever heard about them. I also love Harry Potter, and Fawkes was always beautiful to me but I didn’t know his appearance was based off the Harpy Eagle. Very cool educational video. I have a fascination with mythology, it’s my favorite subject and I’ve read about the half bird half women birds before but I did not make the connection to the Harpy Eagle either. My favorite bird is fictional, it’s the Phoenix but I think they chose the right bird to get inspiration from. Good video.
You’re thinking Buckbeak the Hippogriff; Fawkes was a phoenix.
In this species you can tell that eagles and owls share the same common family.
That is terrifying 😳 Could you imagine that flying at you in a dark forest in the middle of the night?? 😬
Ahhhhhh no thanx...

- 6kg for Males / 9kg for Females
- Length up to slightly under 2m / Wingspan of up to 2.3m
- Beaks up to 5.1 inches
- Mature colors are black backs and white fronts
- Largest talons of all the eagles
- Resides in forests - conserves energy and does not fly high often
- Can fast up to 2 weeks without food without health risk
- Monogomous - one partner for whole life
- Average 30 year lifespan
- Fertile throughout it's lifespan
- Kids visit parent's nests on occasion
- Only 5000 in Amazon / 300 in Atlantic Forest as of 2020
- Named after Harpy the Greek mythical creature after the grandfather of Evolution Theory
You must be, or were, very good in school lol
Eagles have bigger females, and they tend to be monogamous.
Thanks for the list btw

My dad took me to a lot of animal sanctuary when i was young,Ive seen our national bird the bald eagle, ive seena harpy eagle in person and ive seen the Philippine eagle, and the Philippine eagle was the most beautiful eagle and very threatening in its appearance. My dad said the Philippine eagle is his favourite eagle out of all eagles he saw, it is the biggest and the most majestic he said. Harpy wouldn’t stand a chance he said.
This is the most legendary bird, it becomes mystical, its vain and surreal, its lethality is prehistoric, it is sovereign, its image imposes grandeur

Imagine meeting him at night and seeing a giant shadow with 2 horns and wings. Good God. Glad I watched this video and at least know they existed before meeting one
Philippine Eagle is the most Beautiful, Big Eagle in the world👑👑👑. But i love all the kinds of eagles❤❤❤
This Harpy eagle is found also in Venezuela it's habitab is located north of the Orinoco in the Cordillera de la Costa Central (Carabobo, Aragua, Miranda), Monagas (Gurapiche River), Sierra de Perijá and south of Lake Maracaibo (Zulia), and south of the Orinoco in Delta Amacuro, Amazonas and Bolívar (upper Caura River, Gran Sabana, Sierra de Lema, Imataca). When you see it in person is just unbelieveble beautifull and it seems as if you are watching a real queen o king of the nature
2 feet 19 inches... somehow no one caught that.
Thank you. At least 1 person noticed it.
Animals don't have 'partners', they have mates.
Up until his death, I though the strongest Eagle was Glenn Frey.
Would love a special on the Philippine eagle

I have loved birds for over six decades and certainly learned how to identify an innumerable number of them especially when the Internet and browsing engines entered my life. The Harpy Eagle is the only one I remember how I learned about it. I cannot recall when I first watched it but the movie starred Hugh O'Brien as a falconer who owned the title bird, a Harpy. That bird was so large and impressive looking I can only wonder what it feels like to see one. It was terrific to find this video of the Harpy so I can see them in action.
I love the birds of the east coast like the Bluejays and Cardinals, they're so colorful and 🌞 bright

Awesome video! I'm also a huge fan of the shoebill! Next bird video?? They are so cool. Prehistoric looking and have cool, polite mannerisms.
The Harpy eagle is in the same family with the Philippine eagle and 2 others. Although the Harpy is my favorite, the Philippine and Stellar's Sea eagle are also my favorites. These 3 are the largest eagles on Earth, and are beautiful in their own way.
I will definitely agree with you. Just beautiful birds!
@Will Yum no the wing span may be larger but it's not the bigger bird in weight
You are so correct.
In South Eastern Africa is the Crowned Eagle: they specialize in eating monkeys. As the monkeys easily adapted to urban life the Crowd Eagle did the same. This gained them access to domestic animals such as cats and small dogs. It's an endangered bird, but a hugely emotional topic in those cities
@Max Powers And they didn't even know they were delicious. Criminal.
~ That reminds me, I must get my nails done.
Good, they should wipe out all the useless Cats!
Philippine eagle: your a worthy apponent
I was a video photographer for a TV station about 25 years ago and I was invited to record a Golden Eagle in a zoo which was recovering from a minor injury. The zoo keepers told me not to get within 10 feet of it as it might attack me because it was not familiar with me. I started to set up my camera about 12 feet away but noticed it made the eagle uneasy even at that distance so I slowly pulled back a few more feet. I began video taping the eagle as it stood on a short wooden stump. Then I noticed I was eye to eye with the eagle. I am not tall, but that meant it must have been 4 1/2 feet tall not including the tree stump.
Here after being attacked by a Mississippi kite while on a run and been terrified of birds ever since. Prompting me to learn they were the smallest of birds of prey. That was followed by an admiration of all birds of prey and learning Eagles were part of that group and making the connection as to why the kite diving to attack me had such distinctly scary but beautiful eyes while I ducked and sprinted to get away. The Harpy Eagle is by far my favorite. Not hoping to ever encounter one in real life though lol.
If only human women tried as hard to keep their families together.
Sadly they would rather just leave and take half of your shit 😢😢😢
@@ActionJackson669 then maybe it's time we stop allowing that to happen.
Lol
Right
Perhaps, but these Eagles don't watch Disney or CNN, or The View...
At first i thought he was gonna say “crips are nothing compared to the harpy eagle” like damn blood do you got beef or sum
Harpy picked up my Buick once and carried it across town and dropped it off in the police impound yard.
4:54: 197cm? Either something is very wrong or this bird is the size of a door
Their wingspans can measure up to 2.2 m (7.5 ft), while a Harpy Eagle's is roughly 1.8 m (6 feet)
@@laurensvanderveer8367 obviously they are not 1.8m height. They can get up to 1.05 meter height and 2.2 wing span
Length my dude
Yeah, that's a big bird. But I see the confusion, he quoted a max 3 1/2 ' , then 197 cm. Which is more like 6 1/2'. Regardless if he meant height or body length he said it wrong.
What a dumb narrator, not to catch this typo while reading.
Incredible! Thank you for educating us about this magnificent bird !
In 2007 I saw 2 adult Harpy Eagles while riding my horse on San Juan Island, Wa. It was at the north end of the Island on DNR land (dept of natural resources). I was dumbfounded as to what I was looking at because I didn't know this existed at that time. Yes they were absolutely huge & after a few full minutes of us looking at each other I decided to get going because I felt creepy & oddly intimated. Now I know why.
looks like a person in a costume. kinda trippy
I love watching Eagles the way they hunt and the way they fly and the sky belongs to them they are absolutely beautiful no matter what they are doing hunting or just flying
Makes you wonder if Harpy Eagle is really the Moth Man lol
Thank you. As a birdwatcher I appreciate your indepth look at the harpy eagle. I am working with some environmentalists here to ban rodentcide which is killing raptors including eagles. There are idiots in the world who do not understand that raptors are better at controlling rodents than poison.
HARPY EAGLE IS MY MOST FAVORITE ANIMAL ON THE PLANET
Seen one for the first time at the zoo. Couldnt believe how tall they stand.
While Harpys have always been way up there on my favorite raptor list, IMO, no other bird in the world looks quite as astounding as the Stellers Sea eagle. Their beaks are absolutely amazing. Thanks for the video.
Beg to disagree, Philippine Eagle for me sports the best looks.
any of these eagles that you are talking about have claws as bigs as bear's claws that are strong enough to break bones? i dont think so
That Eagle looks so mysteries, it also looks like a person in an Eagle costume! Ready to speak to ya!
Harpy is my favorite. Just a stunningly beautiful bird of prey.
At the moment there is a giant eurasian owl not native to our country in the UK flying around norfolk where i live. It escaped from a Zoo. There are literally people travelling miles to the last known locations just to try and see it. So I can kinda see how large birds in general are quite majestic.
oh man it must be lonely. being used to people and now trying to find a mate. I hope it can bond with some people for some company, because what's the chance of another eurasian owl coming to your area
@@KikiMoment Well maybe It will find a nice little barn owl to make friends with lol.
From the thumbnail...it looked like a humanoid winged demon 😮
Alfred Hitchcock should have picked these MoFo's for his old school birds movie.
Harpys are definitely gorgeous birds and seeing these for the first has definitely made them one of my top three favorite birds of which I only have three favorite birds🖤
We have a harpy at ft worth zoo. Such beautiful birds. When it looks at you it appears to be peering into you soul. I would love to see one in the wild doing what they do. The sounds they make is both savage and astounding at the same time.

That's easy to say when they actually endangered in their natural habitat.
One of the most majestic birds on the planet!
Those eagles are beautiful to say the least. Scary as well. Does anyone believe that these eagles may have been mistaken for the Jersey devil in some cases? The climate is not to much of a change in the woodlands of of Nee Jersey. The hoofs in the snow the massive size that no human should mess with one: the fact that we don’t see them cry often and the horned head in some photo. Perhaps the eagle mace have been started trying to find food in the vast wilderness and people spooked the bird as the bird spooked
Their talons are thick and massive as hell. Definitely a big upscale on any other raptor.

It can bench 2 monkeys and 10 rabbits
Jeff Corwin did an episode with one of these eagles. It pecked his head mercilessly. It's still on the web. Might even be here.
Something so mystical about huge birds
Theoretically the Harpy eagle should be the strongest coz it's heavier and bulkier but we all know eagle's do not roam on foot and weight is a disadvantage when flying and lifting heavy preys. Based of bone samples taken from an eagle's nest the Philippine eagle has the heaviest preys like pigs, dogs, pythons, macaques, monitor lizards, goats, deers etc. and it's all documented. These preys are not just heavy but are also dangerous unlike the usual prey of the Harpy which is the slothwhich is average size and doesn't even fight back. The reason why the Philippine eagle is capable of lifting heavy preys is because it's dimensionally bigger than the Harpy meaning it is taller than the Harpy due to its longer legs, it has a wider wing span and broader wing surface area than the Harpy, and most of all it is lighter than the Harpy. Even the Golden eagle which is slightly smaller than the Harpy eagle has far more impressive prey sizes.
Maybe this eagle can lift deer and all the other heavier animals that you mentioned but it chooses not too.
