Ogilvie-Grant,

The Philippine
eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), also
known as the monkey-eating
eagle, is an eagle of the
family Accipitridae endemic to
forests in the Philippines. It has
brown and white-coloured plumage,
and a shaggy crest, and generally
measures 86 to 102 cm (2.82 to
3.35 ft) in length and weighs 4.7 to
8.0 kilograms (10.4 to 17.6 lb). It is
considered the largest of the extant
eagles in the world in terms of
length, with the Steller's sea
eagle and the harpy eagle being
larger in terms of weight and bulk.[2]
[3]
Among the rarest and most
powerfulbirds in the world, it has
been declared the
Philippine national bird.[4] It
is critically endangered, mainly due
to massive loss of habitat due to
deforestation in most of its range.
Killing a Philippine eagle is
punishable under Philippine law by
12 years in jail and heavy fines.
