Abstract: Abstract The harpy eagle, also known as royal-hawk, is the largest and most powerful raptor in the Amazon rainforest. The young eagle has to go through relentless training by its mother not long after it was born. The mother eagle will take the eaglet to a treetop or a cliff, and then drop it. Some timid eaglets will fall and die. The survivors will continue to face the most horrifying test: most of the bones in their wings will be broken by their mother, and then they will be pushed again from the height. Many eaglets die from the test, but the mother eagle will not go soft on the “bloody” training. Some hunters felt sorry for the eaglets with broken wings and secretly brought them home, but only found later that these home-raised eaglets could not fly high, as their two-meter-long wings became a huge burden. It turns out that broken bones are the key to soar. The eagle’s wing bones have a strong regenerative ability, as long as the eaglets can endure the pain and continue to fly after their bones have been broken, the wings will continue to be congested, and soon they will be able to recover and soar.
