Philippine Eagle (Monkey-eating Eagle)

The Majestic Philippine Eagle crowned by a royal head crest like a Lion's mane. In spite of a seven-foot broad wingspan flying low, navigating in steep dense rainforest.

It's not good to put the monkey eating eagle in a different place even though the climate and weather conditions are the same. The Haribon is a very powerful eagle and it will hunt down most species. There will also be problems because they will be a type of invasive species. There will also be a problem with them because some natural predators which control the population of the eagles may not exist and the Haribon can wipe out other species in the area.

@Ruonne94 That is why I said; " A serious study is needed to.learn on the effect or impact to the ecological balance IF ever this eagle is introduced". It's not such a bad idea this is often do when they need to control over population of some species that may cause imbalance to the ecosystem... the eagle hunt only what it needs for the day and It has a very slow brood only one chick it rears every two or three years.

*sigh* Only less than 500 left... Imagine that! Very sad... Thumbs up if you think the government should the improve law about the conservation of these majestic creatures.

From 0:00 to 0:28 it looks like that eagle is going to bust out singing some gangsta rap dissing harpy's, bald eagles and golden eagles.. At 0:30 - 0:35, I thought that he was going to show us its crip walk, too...

Instead it just goes off and bites the tail off a fucking monkey. How epic is that? LOL

@5ive10 - The Philippine Eagle Foundation and its partners like the Peregrine Fund, Birdlife Intrn'l, WWF and many other local NGO's have adapt many projects to help and educate people esp. areas where the eagles are found to protect and save the eagle and the Forest habitat, a community-based information dissemination to the importance of the eagle to the ecosystem and all the animals in the forest and also created livelihood to help people as some were deputized to protect the eagle.

@iyakabud yeah? and what would our irresponsible government do with the territory if it was acquired? sell logging and mining rights probably. we can't even protect the habitat of our own national bird. unfortunately we do not have conservation in our culture. the poor/uneducated will hunt and eat any animal they can catch while the rich rape our land and natural resources only to get richer.

Yup the owner of Sabah is the Philippines, Malaysia still pays a monthly rent to the Sultanate of Sulu of just $1000k+. There's a recent interview of the Sulu sultan encouraging the Phil president to once again claim Sabah. Phil will no doubt win the case in International court even if they would send law students lol but Malaysia always snubs and doesn't even bother to send any delegates and turns a blind ear when they hear about the sabah issue.

BTW- There was a pending claim of the PHILIPPINES to SABAH, (Malaysian States of Sabah) long ago which is a Part of the Philippine territory. I just don't know If it still being pursued by the Philippine government But that's another topic anyway... = )

@Billabongs122988 - Well... Malaysia and Indonesia Has one of the Largest and oldest (130 M years) Rainforest in the world next to the Amazon, I think there is still enough forests cover to accommodate this Giant raptor although a serious study is needed to.learn on the effect to the ecological balance IF ever this eagle is introduced.

That's actually a better idea than introducing them to Amazon rainforest, but the problem with that is the faster rate of deforestation in the island of Borneo than in Mindanao/Luzon/Samar. Forests there have been hastily converted to palm plantations specially in Kalimantan, Indonesia. In Malaysian States of Sabah & Sarawak forests have been cleared for residential living and expansion of current palm plantations.
