00:00 13 species of monkeys live here, even 100 feet up in the forest.
00:21 They too have their predators.
00:29 One of the most fearsome is the rare harpy eagle.
00:33 With a 7 inch spread of talons, he can easily throttle a monkey.
00:40 This eagle is concerned about two things.
00:43 One is her little chick, who is entirely dependent on her mother for nourishment.
00:49 Second is its unborn chicks.
00:53 Unfortunately, the nest ends up in the hands of monkeys.
00:59 With their nimble hands and insatiable appetites, the monkeys eagerly set about breaking up
01:05 the shells and savoring the rich, creamy yolks inside.
01:15 The protein and healthy fats found in the eggs provided a substantial boost to the monkeys'
01:21 diets.
01:25 As they were feasting, the mother harpy eagle was on patrol.
01:33 The harpy wasn't hunting for herself.
01:36 She had a nest in a dead Brazil nut tree.
01:42 The alarm is on.
01:57 The mother's job is done once she delivers her kill.
02:08 The mother feeds the two-month-old chick.
02:12 Everything but the bones gets consumed, even the skin.
02:16 Nothing here goes to waste.
