Although the eagle is more than capable of, at least, maiming an unsuspecting human, the harpy eagle has proven to not fear humans at all. In fact, they have been known to allow curious humans to approach them.

Unfortunately, this has placed the harpy eagle at risk, as they are frequently hunted since they are easy to kill.
