Harpy eagles feed mainly on arboreal animals such as opossums, primates, sloths, iguanas, and some large bird species. They also catch some animals from the forest floor such as anteaters, armadillos, and young deer. They can lift animals that weigh as much as 7.7 kg (17 pounds). Adults of both sexes have talons powerful enough to crush the bones of their prey.
