EIGLE RARE

 Un aigle rare « mangeur de singes » : l’un des plus grands oiseaux du monde aux yeux bleu-gris et qui s’accouplent pour la vie .     


                L’aigle des Philippines (Pithecopaga jefferyi) est le plus grand oiseau du monde et il se nourrit de singes. Avec ses yeux bleu-gris uniques, ce prédateur de premier plan peut repérer ses proies jusqu’à une distance de 2 kilomètres. Ce magnifique oiseau de proie est incroyablement rare, puisqu’il n’en existe que 392 couples.

Ce chasseur redoutable mesure 1 mètre, soit la taille moyenne d’un enfant de 3 ans, et son envergure est de 2,1 mètres, ce qui correspond à peu près à la longueur d’une voiture Mini Cooper. Les serres de l’aigle, semblables à celles d’un poignard, lui permettent de descendre en piqué et d’emporter ses proies, notamment des singes, des petits cochons et des chiens de petite taille.
