The Harpy Eagle is pretty much as powerful as
you can get while still being able to fly.
It has a crushing grip of 530ls per sq.inch.
If that's a
meaningless number to you, let's put it like this:
The average man has a grip
of about 60lbs.
The typical dog bite clocks a mere 320.
Freaking wolves can only chew you at a 400lbs.per square inch.
But this bird beats them all.
But surely,
even a bird with a grip that can shame the jaws of a feral canine is still just
a bird? What could it do to a full-grown man?
Tear off a finger with its little
claws?
Quite a bit more than that, actually, considering that its talons are the
same size as those of a Grizzly Bear!
The Harpy Eagle
applies its horror grip via 5-inch talons that it can sink into pretty much
anything it wants. And let's not forget that it also has a razor-sharp beak that would make a Japanese swordsman
hang his tools in shame and retire to a quiet life running a small sake bar.
To drive the
point home, the Harpy Eagle likes to show off its power by crushing the skulls
of monkeys, then eating them.
And you thought 'What a cute little face it has......'
