After caereful thought, I think most believe the philippine's monkey eagle and the harpy eagle are both a toss up with the former having a larger beak and the letter having stronger talons.
The steller's sea eagle which is the largest and most aggressive sea eagle is said by some to be not very formidable despite that huge beak which I kinda disagree on though its talons are pound to pound not as powerful compared to booted eagles, it has its large size to make up for that and a huge beak too and just because an eagle is primirally a fish eater doesn't mean it should be underestimated.
I hope we can have a discussion on how to help those animals as well since all three of them are becoming endangered as well and does anyone have accounts on their interactions with others animals ?
furthermore, does taking on dangerouse prey nessarily mean an animal would be a more formidable one? I know that the two forest eagles take on more dangerouse prey on average compared to the largest sea eagle.
