The great bird can reach a wingspan of 3.2 m (10 ft)[1] and a weight of 15 kg (33 lb).[19] The largest extant species is the Eurasian black vulture (Aegypius monachus), attaining a maximum size of 14 kg (31 lb), 1.2 m (3.9 ft) long and 3.1 m (10 ft) across the wings.[20] Other vultures can be nearly as large, with the Himalayan vulture (Gyps himalayensis) reaching lengths up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) thanks in part to its long neck.[21] The largest living eagle (the larger varieties of active-hunting raptors) is a source of contention, with the Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), at up to 1.12 m (3.7 ft), being the longest.
