The Largest Eagles in the World Have Talons Bigger Than Bear Claws

Harpy eagles (Harpia harpyja) are extremely successful hunters. They sit at the top of its food chain. The huge and powerful talons the harpy use to capture prey other eagles would probably not attempt to capture. Larger than those of any other eagle, the harpy's rear talons measure 5 in (12.7 cm) in length which is actually bigger than Grizzly Bear's claws! With such power it should come as no surprise that the harpy eagle is at the top of its food chain.
