🦅Harpy eagle
La harpie féroce (Harpia harpyja), seule espèce du genre Harpia, aussi connue au Brésil sous le nom de faucon-royal (en portugais : gavião-real), est un aigle forestier d'Amérique latine. Elle est le plus grand et le plus puissant rapace de la forêt tropicale et figure parmi les plus grandes espèces d'aigles au monde. La harpie vit habituellement dans les forêts tropicales humides des basses terres, dans la strate supérieure de la canopée. La destruction de son habitat naturel réduit fortement son aire de répartition : elle a presque disparu d'Amérique centrale.
