Philippine Eagle

The Philippine Eagle, also known as the Monkey-eating Eagle, is a critically endangered bird native to the Philippines. It is one of the world's largest and most powerful forest eagles, with a wingspan of up to 2.2 meters (7 feet). Characterized by its impressive crest of feathers and keen eyesight, it primarily preys on monkeys, birds, and reptiles in dense forests. Due to habitat loss, deforestation, and hunting, its population has declined sharply, making it a vital symbol of wildlife conservation in the Philippines. Protecting the Philippine Eagle is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and forest health.
