    ..We suggest that it either consumed smaller prey that could be killed and consumed more safely (e.g., swallowed whole) or that it used multiple well-targeted sagittal strikes with the beak in a repetitive attack-and-retreat strategy...

    Zoology (Jena) 113:334-8. 2010
    ..This study allows establishing that genera and, in some cases, the gender of the Tinamidae can be differentiated based on cranial shape...

    ..Finally, the brain of R. americana is similar to that of Struthio and Dromaius, but differs from that of the Tinamidae and of Apteryx, allowing recognition of 3 distinct brain morphologies among the Palaeognathae...
