The Papuan eagle (Harpyopsis novaeguineae) is a large bird of prey.[2] It is also known by several other names, including Papuan harpy eagle, New Guinea eagle, New Guinea harpy eagle, or kapul eagle, the latter name from the local name for a usually arboreal, marsupial that the eagle is known to regularly hunt.[3][4] This is an endemic species to New Guinea, and it can occasionally be found throughout the island.[1] This is a forest-dwelling species, usually occurring in mature rainforest.[5] The Papuan eagle is a fairly little-known species for a large eagle; however, it is known to prey on a wide range of prey, probably by and large mammals and birds from small to quite large sizes.[2][4] What little study has been conducted about their breeding habits suggests they nest in a large forest tree, perhaps every other year.[6] The Papuan eagle is probably naturally scarce, but it is under the threat of habitat destruction by deforestation, as well as hunting. Due to its small and declining population, the species has been classified as vulnerable by the IUCN.[1]
