That's a big bird 🦅 👀

--------------------------------------------------------------- With its expressive face, a collar of feathers, and black and grey tones, there's no denying that the harpy eagle is a striking creature. But if its distinct appearance isn't impressive enough, its height and wingspan certainly are. These powerful birds of prey can reach up to 3 feet 5 inches in height, with an overall wingspan of up to 7 feet 4 inches—making them look almost like a puppet out of Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Its incredible size and unique appearance have made the harpy eagle a popular figure on the internet and even inspired iconic movies. The bird was the inspiration behind the design of Fawkes the Phoenix (Dumbledore's animal companion) in the Harry Potter film series. ​ Want a daily digest email featuring our latest articles?

New Zealand, in particular, has had a slew of discoveries that have revealed the country as a hotbed of giant, extinct animals. Just what has been uncovered? For one, a gigantic penguin the size of an average woman. ​ ​[65 Million Years Ago Penguins the Size of Humans Roamed the Earth]()​ [Giant penguin]()​ [Read on My Modern Met]() ​ --------------------------------------------------------------- ​ Architect Cliff Tan of Dear Modern is using TikTok and Instagram to teach people about architecture and feng shui, making expense design services available to anyone at any budget.
