Food Chain
The Harpy Eagle (king of the rain-forest canopy) is at the top of its food chain along with the Anaconda (king of swamps and lakes) and the Jaguar (king of the forest floor). It has no natural predators.
The common food chain of a Harpy Eagle consists of a tertiary consumer, being the Harpy Eagle, a primary consumer being the Pygmy Sloth, two secondary consumers the Squirrel Monkey and Cappuccino Monkey, a single primary producer, the Cecropia Tree and two detrivores (meaning they eat decaying or dead matter), Earth Worms and Termites. Harpy Eagles have also been observed to prey on larger prey such as baby deers and large reptiles, although this is rare occasion when the birds have not had success finding their primary prey.
Decomposition
Bacteria is the decomposer of the Harpy Eagle. Almost immediately when the eagle has died, larger animals such as jaguars and snakes will feed off it's flesh. Smaller animals will then feed on what is left over and eventually when there is almost nothing left, bacteria will start invading the left overs. Bacteria slowly decomposes the Harpy Eagle, extracting chemicals from the dead bird and turns it into vital nutrients for soil needed for the producers to grow.
