Its talons are as thick as a human wrist and exert immense pressure, capable of crushing bones.

It is densely muscled with powerful legs and a razor-sharp beak, built for taking down heavy mammals.

Its shorter, broader wings are perfect for maneuvering through dense tropical forests, unlike the long-winged eagles of open skies.

The eagle is a formidable predator of monkeys, sloths, porcupines, and large birds.

It is often described as having an ancient, elemental look, sometimes compared to a feathered bear.

Like owls, it has feather structures around its face to funnel sound to its ears, aiding in low-light hunting.
