I posted these pictures of the eagles besides a man just to have an idea how big they can get, looks like the Philippine eagle can swallow a whole human ear in one gulp by the size of their beak but never the less here are some data from Haribon foundation, though some of these specimen are more or less 50 years old which might have shrink from the original size.Note: They dont have the steller's sea eagle specimen.Total Average Length (from tip of bill to tip of longest tail feather):1. Haring Ibon (average) = 1021 mm or 1.021 meter (Philippine eagle)2. Harpy Eagle (average) = 900.75 mm or 0.90075 meterComplete data; <a href="http://www.haribon.org.ph/?q=node/view/117" target="_blank">http://www.haribon.org.ph/?q=node/view/117</a>Size comparison:<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=R6jPaP1Fono" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/watch?v=R6jPaP1Fono</a>ATBBlubeak_2007</blockquote>
