The Philippine eagle, also known as the monkey eagle, is the largest bird of prey in the Philippine Islands where it lives and one of the largest in the world. This predator, which can live up to 60 years in the wild, lives in the wooded, high-altitude regions of the islands of Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. They are monogamous birds, like most eagles, with very low reproductive capacity, with a single clutch of one egg and a total gestation and breeding period of 2 years. Mining, deforestation, and widespread poaching have made this eagle one of the most endangered birds of prey on the planet, listed as critically endangered by the IUCN, with only 400 eagles in the wild. In 1995, the Philippine eagle was declared the national bird of the Philippines.<\/p>\n
