Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi)
Also known as the Monkey-eating Eagle, the Philippine eagle is a large species of eagle found only in the Philippines. Philippine eagles are largely considered to be the largest extant species of eagle with some individuals growing up to 3 feet long with a 6 foot wingspan. Their large size allows them to take a wide variety of prey including monkeys, civets, birds, bats, colugos, and various other animals. Philippine eagles mate for life and have been observed hunting together, with one individual acting as a decoy and the other taking the distracted prey item, which is usually a group of monkeys. Currently the Philippine eagle is listed as critically endangered as due to poaching and habitat loss there are believed to be less than 500 Philippine eagles left in the wild. To try to combat this the Philippine eagle has been protected by law and several conservation programs have been set to to try to increase their numbers.
