About this species
The harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) is a large neotropical species of eagle. It is also called the American harpy eagle to distinguish it from the Papuan eagle, which is sometimes known as the New Guinea harpy eagle or Papuan harpy eagle. It is the largest bird of prey throughout its range, and among the largest extant species of eagles in the world. It usually inhabits tropical lowland rainforests in the upper (emergent) canopy layer. Destruction of its natural habitat has caused it to vanish from many parts of its former range, and it is nearly extirpated from much of Central America. It is the only member of the genus Harpia, which, together with Harpyopsis, Macheiramphus and Morphnus, forms the subfamily Harpiinae.

角雕(学名:Harpia harpyja),又名哈佩雕或哈比鹰,是新热带界的一种鹰。牠们最初是由卡尔·林奈于1758年所描述,并命名为Vultur harpyja。后来被编入自立的角雕属中。
角雕的名字是与希腊神话的哈耳庇厄有关,哈耳庇厄是一种人面鹰身的怪物,负责将死人带到哈底斯面前。牠们是美洲中最大只及最强壮的猛禽,很多时都栖息在热带低地森林的上冠层。牠们也是世界上最大型的鹰之一,现存猛禽中只有食猿雕及虎头海雕有接近的身型(不含新旧大陆的大型秃鹫)。已灭绝的哈斯特鹰差不多比角雕大50%,角雕同时具备了拥有所有现存成年鸟类中最强179公斤以上的脚爪握力。
