About These Birds
Gavião-real
The harpy eagle is among the most powerful raptors in the world, with talons as large as a grizzly bear's claws. It is the national bird of Panama. Deforestation poses the greatest threat to this species, as each breeding pair requires a vast territory of undisturbed forest.
King Penguin
O pinguim-rei é o segundo maior pinguim do mundo, com manchas auriculares alaranjadas brilhantes, encontrado em ilhas subantárticas onde forma colônias reprodutivas densas.
