Yellow-throated Longclaw
(Macronyx croceus)

Masai Mara, Kenya, Africa

Upon seeing this bird in its African habitat, one cannot but be reminded of the Western/Eastern Meadowlark found in the USA.

Note the bird's easily visible long hind claw on its left leg.



Note: Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.
