Description: | This Crested Bustard has a crest on its head, showing it is a male. This bird is from Transvaal in South Africa, in 1899, and was part of the Abel Chapman collection. Crested bustards spend a lot of time running on open, grassy plains so they have no hind toes to catch in the grass. They do fly as well, and look similar to geese when in flight. Bustards are generally thought to be helpful to agriculture because they eat so many locusts. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
