Description: The bone-crushing woodpecker is a species of predatory woodpecker that feeds on the small wildlife of the grassland. Due to the fact woodpeckers could easily break through wood, they could evolve into predatory birds with their unique way of killing. Also, the extinction of many predatory birds allowed other birds to take their place.
   The colors of the bone-crushing woodpecker consist of red feathers on the head, gray colors on the body, and brown tail feathers. The eyes of the woodpecker are built similar to the eagles that live 50 million years ago and allow the bird to see prey from far away. Its bill is used to crush bones and skulls to kill its prey, but also wood to build their homes. The claws are used to pin down prey and grasp onto branches.
    The woodpecker has a hunting tragedy similar to the eagles that live 50 million years, but it has a different execution. The woodpecker will usually wait on a branch, looking for prey that is running around through the grasses. It will then swoop down on the prey animal and grasp onto it. Next, the woodpecker will use its beak to break the animal’s skull or back, causing it to die quickly. The woodpecker also uses its beak to crack open the bone to reach the marrow, fat, and brain.
