Javan Hawk-Eagle

The Javan Hawk-Eagle is a striking bird of prey native to Indonesia's islands, particularly Java. It is known for its impressive size, sharp talons, and distinctive crest of feathers on its head. Its striking plumage features a mix of brown, white, and black patterns that help it blend into forest canopies. As a piscivorous and opportunistic hunter, it primarily feeds on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. The Javan Hawk-Eagle is critically endangered due to habitat loss and deforestation, making conservation efforts vital for its survival. It plays an important role in maintaining balanced ecosystems within its habitat.
