If the Architects had started breeding chelicerates, they would have achieved different color variations of this shrimp. They'd also make it smaller x)

Bird #92 - Guadelupe caracara (EX)

Back to my roots with extinct birds... The Guadelupe caracara, also known as the calalie or quelili, was considered common in 1876. Within a mere 30 years, the combination of active hunting from farmers and habitat destruction brought them to extinction. The last confirmed sighting was in 1900.

Full (and not flickering) image, plus some ramblings from me:

With extinct species, I always wish we knew more about their behaviours. The closely related crested caracara are unique for falcons in that they hunt on foot rather than from the air, and pairs will cooperate when hunting. Pairs form strong bonds together. They are also known allopreen with black vultures, which is quite strange.

Anyways I just wonder if the Guadelupe caracara acted similarly, and which aspects of its life were different.
