This bird often eats fairly large prey, including rodents, birds, and lizards. It does not have a hooked beak and claws to rip them apart. How does it manage to swallow them?
Answer:
This is a Greater Roadrunner. When it catches an animal that is too big to swallow easily, it grabs them in its beak, and beats them against a rock. This dislocates enough of the bones in the skeleton to make it easier to swallow.
