Buzzard, or Turkey Vulture, a
large American bird that lives in a wide range of habitats, including
grasslands, forests, and deserts. The buzzard is a carrion scavenger, feeding
chiefly on the remains of dead animals. The adult bird is about 30 inches (76
cm) long with a wingspread of 6 feet (1.8 m). It has a slightly hooked beak, a
bare, bright red head, and grayish-black plumage.The buzzard lays its eggs in a
depression in the ground. The two, or sometimes three, creamy white eggs are
speckled in brown or lavender. The young buzzards, when hatched, are covered
with white down. Buzzards are graceful in flight, soaring at great heights and moving
their wings only to adjust to changing air currents. They fly by day, seeking
carrion. Buzzards locate carrion both by sight and smell. (Unlike most other
birds, buzzards have a well-developed sense of smell.)The buzzard's range
extends from southern Canada to the southern tip of South America. Those in the
northern parts of this range usually migrate south in autumn.

Wallabv.
Mammal. The rock wallaby
is a small kangaroo. There are 15 species of rock wallaby. They live
exclusively on rocky terrain and can leap up to 4 meters (13 feet) but cannot
climb trees. During hot weather, they spend most of the day in the shade,
searching for grass in the early morning and evening. On cooler days, they
spend much of their time eating. Wallabies communicate a warning to others by
thumping once or twice on the ground with their feet. A female wallaby can
produce two different kinds of milk at the same time, one for her baby and
another, richer blend, for her older offspring
