Wicked. Positively wicked. the harpy eagle is the only one with a crest (funny-shaped feathers on the head). It is the biggest of the eagle family. It has huge talons and long legs because it hunts monkeys and sloths, plucking them out of the trees in what is left of the South American rainforest--so it needs to be able to deal with strong, struggling, freaking out monkeys, unlike other eagles. Because of the ability of the prey to fight back, the harpy is also a very strong flier -- so it has big, muscular wings.
