"Firehawks" are the only other animal besides man known to use fire to hunt.
“Firehawks” a collection of three Australian bird species, are the only animals besides humans known to use fire to hunt. They will pick up burning sticks from fires and carry them in their beaks and talons before dropping it in unburnt vegetation setting the ground ablaze driving prey out.
Species involved in this activity are the black kite (Milvus migrans), whistling kite (Haliastur sphenurus), and brown falcon (Falco berigora). Local Aborigines have known of this behavior for a long time, including in their mythology.
This was some art i made a little while ago. I really like the way it turned out!!! I used a lot of brushes I don't normally do but I think it works out!
Instead of sleeping like a regular person I spent the latter half of tonight drawing increasingly off-model cartoon doodles of @jayrockin‘s species (avian, bug ferret, scud, and centaur in that order). @[email protected] no regrets only art
