<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="caracara-prelutosa-grinnelli"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Caracara prelutosa grinnelli is an extinct subspecies of the Pleistocene caracara Caracara prelutosa, known from fossil material in Mexico. Caracaras of this lineage were carnivorous raptors related to falcons but behaviorally more like vultures and corvids, combining scavenging with active predation. This Mexican subspecies inhabited open habitats of Mesoamerica during the Pleistocene. Named in honor of ornithologist Joseph Grinnell, it documents the historical diversity of Mexican Caracara populations.
