Abstract: Three hand-reared, 50-53 day-old, red-legged seriema (
Cariama cristata) chicks were evaluated for acute lameness and reluctance to ambulate.
Predators include the terrestrial, diurnal bird seriema (
Cariama cristata), a nocturnal owl, the diurnal hawk southern Caracara (Caracara plancus), the nocturnal snake jararaca (Bothrops neuwiedi), a diurnal Colubridae snake, the hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus), the wildcat, and the large-sized lizard tegu (Tupinambis merianae).
Los informantes mencionaron 30 especies de aves indicadores de lluvia, siendo las mas frecuentes Crotophaga ani, Herpetotheres cachinnans,
Cariama cristata y Nystalus maculatus.
For example, here is a quote from the science page of North Carolina State University about birds of the Brazilian grasslands: "Among the birds, the emu (Rhea americana) and the siriema (crested
cariama;
Cariama cristata) are typical inhabitants."
Cytochrome b sequences are being used to investigate the systematic position of the South American Red-legged Seriema (
Cariama cristata) and Black-legged Seriema (Chunga burmeisteri) to the Musophagidae (turacos), Ciconiidae (storks), and Gruiformes (cranes).
