Haast's Eagle
Haast's Eagle (Harpagornis moorei), was a massive, now extinct eagle that once
lived on the South Island of New Zealand. Also known as the Harpagornis Eagle,
it was the largest eagle to have ever lived. It is believed that the Maori
called it Pouakai; the often-cited name Hokioi (or hakawai) refers to the
aerial display of the New Zealand Snipe - specifically, the extinct South
Island subspecies.Female Haast's Eagles weighed 10 to 15 kg (22 to 33 lb), and
males weighed 9 to 10 kg (20 to 22 lb). They had a wingspan of roughly 2.6 to
3 m (8 to 10 ft) at most, which was short for a bird of the eagle's weight
(the largest Golden Eagles and Steller's Sea Eagles may have a wingspan of
almost the same length), but aided them when hunting in the dense forests of
New Zealand. Haast's Eagle is sometimes portrayed as evolving towards
flightlessness, but this is not so; rather, it represents a departure from its
ancestors' mode of soaring flight and towards higher wing loading and
maneuverability. The strong legs and massive flight muscles would have enabled
the birds to take off with a jumping start from the ground, despite their
great weight. The tail was almost certainly long (up to 50 cm (20 inches), in
female specimens) and very broad, further increasing maneuverability and
providing additional lift.[2] Total length was perhaps up to 1.4 m (4.7 ft) in
females, with a standing height of around 90 cm (about 3 ft) tall or even
slightly more. Haast's Eagle preyed on large, flightless bird species,
including the moa which was up to 15 times its weight.[2] It attacked at
speeds up to 80 km per hour (50 mph), often seizing its prey's pelvis with the
talons of one foot and killing with a blow to the head or neck with the other.
Its size and weight indicate a bodily striking force equivalent to a cinder
block landing on the target from a height of 80 feet. The eagle had power in
its talons easily sufficient to snap a human's neck, or puncture the skull.
Its large beak was used to rip into the internal organs and death was induced
by blood loss. In the absence of other large predators or scavengers, a
Haast's Eagle could have easily monopolised a single large kill over a number
of days.
