大雕——很大的鳥，有些人認為它是一個穿著戲服的人

來看看大雕，一種很大的鳥，有些人認為它是一個穿著戲服的人

Wow, now that’s a big bird! That’s the way most people react when they see a harpy eagle for the first time, whether in person or in a picture. The massive bird is, well, absolutely massive. Fierce. Proud. Majestic. With a steely glint in its eyes that practically says, “You’d better not mess with me, kiddo, I eat folks like you for breakfast.”

哇，現(xiàn)在那是一只大鳥!這是大多數(shù)人第一次看到大雕時的反應，無論是在人身上還是在照片上。巨大的鳥，嗯，絕對巨大。激烈。感到驕傲。雄偉的。它的眼睛閃著鋼鐵般的光芒，幾乎在說:“你最好別惹我，孩子，我把你這樣的人當早餐吃。”

The harpy eagle is so peculiar that from one angle, it seems a bit like a person cosplaying a bird straight from the Uncanny Valley. From another, it looks like a Pokemon (please tell me that you see it too). While from a third, it looks like something that might have been kept in a secure cage somewhere in Area 51, after crash-landing in an alien spacecraft that was heading to Earth from Blargon-7.

大雕非常奇特，從一個角度看，它有點像一個人在恐怖谷里直接扮演一只鳥。從另一個角度，它看起來像一個口袋妖怪(請告訴我你也看到了它)。而從第三個角度上看，它像是被關在51區(qū)的某個安全籠子里的什么東西，是在一架從布拉根7號飛往地球的外星飛船緊急著陸后發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

Now, harpy eagles aren’t to be taken lightly. They are, after all, birds of prey. There are two kinds of harpy eagles: the American and the Papuan types.

現(xiàn)在，我們不能掉以輕心。畢竟，它們是猛禽。大雕有兩種:美洲大雕和巴布亞大雕。

Harpy eagles are the largest, most powerful raptors to be found in rainforests around the globe. What’s more, they are among the very largest species of eagles on planet Earth. Their wingspan can reach up to 7 feet and 4 inches (224 centimeters), but they weigh only 8.5-20 pounds (3.8-9 kilograms).

熱帶大雕是在全球熱帶雨林中發(fā)現(xiàn)的最大、最強大的猛禽。更重要的是，它們是地球上最大的鷹類之一。它們的翼展可達7英尺4英寸(224厘米)，但體重只有8.5-20磅(3.8-9公斤)。

Harpy eagles usually live in the upper canopy layer of tropical lowland forests. Unfortunately, due to the destruction of its habitat, it’s nearly eradicated in Central America. There are fewer than 50,000 of them left worldwide. In Brazil, the harpy eagle is also known by another name (which might be even cooler): the royal-hawk.

大雕通常生活在熱帶低地森林的上層冠層。不幸的是，由于棲息地的破壞，它在中美洲幾乎被消滅了。全世界僅存不到5萬只。在巴西，大雕還有一個更酷的名字:皇家鷹。

According to Fact Zoo, harpy eagles eat larger prey than smaller birds: “Monkeys, tree porcupines, sloths, coatis, birds, snakes, lizards, etc.” We’re just glad that ‘people’ aren’t on that list!

根據(jù)事實動物園的說法，大雕比小雕捕食的獵物更大:“猴子、樹豪豬、樹懶、樹懶、鳥、蛇、蜥蜴等等。”
