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.
