the black-legged seriema is one of two living members of the seriema family (the other being the red-legged seriema). both are native to south america, but the black-legged species is more arboreal and spends more time exploring in the trees. seriemas are omnivorous, and mainly prey on small rodents, birds, and reptiles. they have a large curved claw that is used both to climb trees and cut prey.
