おもしろい事実

Caracaras are sometimes called the "Mexican Eagle" even though they are a type of falcon!

These clever birds have been observed using tools like sticks to roll eggs or move food.

They often steal food right from the talons of other birds, a behavior called kleptoparasitism.

Unlike most raptors, caracaras build bulky stick nests in trees or shrubs, not on cliffs.
