Caracara is a genus of birds of prey in the family Falconidae found throughout a large part of the Americas. Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Birds ( class Aves) are bipedal endothermic ( Warm-blooded) Vertebrate animals that lay eggs. The order Falconiformes is a group of about 290 Species of Birds that include the diurnal birds of prey. The falcons and caracaras are around 60 Species of diurnal birds of prey that comprise the family Falconidae. Blasius Merrem ( February 4, 1761 - February 23, 1824) was a German naturalist. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. The Northern Caracara or Northern Crested Caracara ( Caracara cheriway) called Audubon's Caracara in former times is a Bird of prey The Southern Caracara ( Caracara plancus) also known as the Southern Crested Caracara, is a Bird of prey in the family Falconidae In Scientific nomenclature, synonyms are different Scientific names used for a single Taxon. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic Birds of prey are Birds that hunt for food primarily on the wing using their keen senses especially vision The falcons and caracaras are around 60 Species of diurnal birds of prey that comprise the family Falconidae. The Americas are the lands of the Western hemisphere or New World, consisting of the Continents of North America and South America They are part of a group collectively referred to as caracaras. Caracaras are birds of prey in the family Falconidae They are principally birds of South and Central America, just reaching the southern USA The modern species in the genus Caracara were previously considered conspecific (as "Crested Caracara" - a name still widely used for the Northern Caracara)[1][2][3] and/or for long placed in the genus Polyborus. Conspecificity is a concept in Biology. Two or more individual Organisms Populations or Taxa are termed conspecific if they belong

Species

Two of the modern species are extant, one was deliberately made extinct by humans about 100 years ago (to the detrinent of its island home). In Biology and Ecology, extinction is the cessation of existence of a Species or group of taxa. Guadalupe Island, or Isla Guadalupe ( is a volcanic island located 241 kilometers (150 Statute miles off the west coast of Mexico 's Baja Several prehistoric taxa are also known; most if not all of these went extinct without any human influence, usually due to climate change. Stone Age Paleolithic See also Paleolithic, Recent African Origin, Early Homo sapiens, Early human migrations "Paleolithic" A taxon (plural taxa) or taxonomic unit, is a name designating an organism or a group of Organisms In Biological nomenclature according to Climate change is any long-term significant change in the “average weather” that a given region experiences

The fossil record proves the long history of the mainland "crested caracaras". Prehistoric birds are various taxa of Birds that became Extinct before recorded History, or more precisely before they could be studied FOSSIL is a standard protocol for allowing serial communication for Telecommunications programs under the DOS Operating system. Remains of Northern Caracaras, slightly larger than those of our time and otherwise all but identical, were found in the famous La Brea Tar Pits. La Brea Tar Pits (or Rancho La Brea Tar Pits) are a famous cluster of Tar pits located in Hancock Park in the urban heart of Los Angeles, In addition, the Guadalupe Caracara may derive from an already-distinct population of western Mexico that subsequently was displaced by the main continental population.
