It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic genus, ''Pandion'', and family (biology), family, Pandionidae. Taxonomy The osprey ...
