Man-eating?

I deleted the 'man-eating' description (refering to Haast's Eagle), since I could find no evidence that this species actually preyed on humans. Tjunier 23:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the "largest eagle" because of the following phrase as quoted, "Only the Philippine Eagle and the Steller's Sea Eagle approach similar dimensions. The male, in comparison, weighs only about 10.5 lb (4.75 kg).and the fact that the Philippine eagle had surpass it in size.

The word "most powerful eagle" is still debatable or can be reputed; It it more safer to claimed as "one of the most powerful eagles".

The largest prey recorded of the Harpy eagles is a red howler monkey that weighs about 15 lbs.

Here are some Eagle species largest prey records; (Which the bird take and carry-off)
