This is a life sized replica of a harpy eagle foot.  The harpy is the most powerful living eagle, and also one of the heaviest eagles (females weigh up to 20 pounds).  The largest talons are as long as a tiger's claws. It preys on sloths, monkeys and other tree-dwelling animals.  There was a tv program about researchers who were studying the harpy by climbing up into the trees to observe the nest up close. So powerful is this eagle that the researchers had to wear hard hats and bullet proof vests to protect against the potentially lethal strikes of female harpy. 

The foot measures 8.5" across the middle toe to the hind toe (measured in a straight line) and 4.5" across the front three toes.  Height is 7". Hind claw is 3 1/4" long over the curve. 

Cast is made out of urethane plastic resin.  

The listing is for the finished/painted cast. This foot is also available in an unfinished white urethane (I can make these in any color of urethane) - see the separate listing for that one.
