Caracara (genus)
''Caracara'' is a genus in the family Falconidae and the subfamily Polyborinae. It contains one extant species, the crested caracara; and one extinct species, the Guadalupe caracara. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society has voted to again merge the two, retaining ''C. plancus'' as crested caracara. The taxonomists of the International Ornithologists' Union have also merged them. Appearance The crested caracara is distinguished by its long legs and medium size. The birds can reach a length of from head to tail. There are usually four points of identification of the caracara: strikingly white markings on the neck, the tip of both wings, and the tail. Along with their medium length, the caracara also has a wingspan of . When flying, the caracara is often noted to have a pattern on their underside that looks like a cross. Behavior The behaviors of caracaras are considered quite strange in relation to those of other falcons. The b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caracara (subfamily)
Caracaras are birds of prey in the family Falconidae. They are traditionally placed in subfamily Polyborinae with the forest falcons, but are sometimes considered to constitute their own subfamily, Caracarinae, or classified as members of the true falcon subfamily, Falconinae. Caracaras are principally birds of South and Central America, just reaching the southern United States. Unlike the ''Falco'' falcons in the same family, the birds in the five relevant genera are not fast-flying aerial hunters, but are comparatively slow and are often scavengers (a notable exception being the red-throated caracara). Species Distribution The caracaras are found throughout much of the Americas. The range of the crested caracara extends as far north as the states of Arizona, Texas, and Florida in the United States. In the Southern Hemisphere, the striated caracara inhabits the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego, just off the coast of the southernmost tip of South America. Taxono ...

Cara Cara Navel
The Cara cara navel orange, or red-fleshed navel orange, is an early-to-midseason navel orange believed to have developed as a spontaneous bud mutation on a Washington navel orange tree. A botanical sport discovered at the Hacienda Caracara in Valencia, Venezuela in 1976, the cara cara appears to be of such uncertain parentage as to occasionally warrant the distinction of a ''mutation'', with only the tree on which it was found—the Washington navel—being an accepted progenitor. Cara caras did not enter the U.S consumer produce market until the late 1980s and were carried only by specialty markets for many years thereafter. Characteristics This medium-sized navel is seedless, sweet and low in acid, and characterized by little to no pith and easy, clean separation from the rind. Unlike in true blood oranges, where the main pigmentation is due to anthocyanins, pigmentation in Cara cara oranges is due to carotenoids, such as lycopene. Season From the major growing regi ...
