Орел Гарпия (Eagle Harpy, Harpia)

Сфоткал эту гарпию в буквальном смысле слова в деревеньке в джунглях амазонии в дождевых лесах, это птица тамошнего шамана и символ той индейской общины куда мы забрели. Питается обезьянами, опоссумами и прочей живностью. Лапа у нее с человеческую, да и сами птичка около 70 см. Range The Harpy Eagle inhabits tropical lowlands from southern Mexico southwards to eastern Bolivia, southern Brazil and the northernmost parts of Argentina. Diet The Harpy is a very large eagle, and this is reflected in its prey which consists mostly of tree-dwelling mammals. Monkeys, sloths, opossum, coati and porcupine feature heavily, as do agouti which, of course, are taken on the ground. Large birds are probably taken occasionally, as are snakes.
