Summary of Transcript:
This video is about Kia, a 19 year old Harpy Eagle. Harpy Eagles are one of the top three largest eagle species and they live in South America and Mexico. They have incredible eyesight and a crushing pressure of 300-500 psi, allowing them to take down prey such as sloths, monkeys, iguanas, and other birds. Kia usually gets rabbits, quail, and rats for food, but sometimes she takes on other animals. They prefer larger prey items so they can snack on them for a few days. Kia also does target training, where she touches her beak to a target and gets a treat. She is an apex predator in her area and visitors to the zoo can come to see her.
