Garganoaetus is an extinct genus of buteonin accipitrid bird of prey from the early Pliocene in Italy.^[3] G. freudenthali was comparable in size to a golden eagle; G. murivorus was hawk sized. Species of Garganoaetus would have lived alongside other Gargano island animals, such as large dormice Stertomys and Hattomys hamsters, the giant, long-skulled Deinogalerix moonrats, an otter, Prolagus pikas, and the multi-horned artiodactyl Hoplitomeryx.^[2]
