<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="ceophloeus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Ceophloeus is a genus of pileated-type woodpeckers (family Picidae) with a fossil record in the United States. Representing large, crow-sized woodpeckers that excavate deep cavities in dead timber to access carpenter ant and beetle larvae, these insectivorous birds are keystone species creating nesting cavities used by many other species. Fossil material from the United States documents the presence of large woodpeckers similar to the living pileated woodpecker through at least the Pleistocene of North America.
Diet & Feeding
Ceophloeus primarily fed on insects and other small invertebrates. Insectivorous dinosaurs were typically small-bodied and agile, with adaptations suited for catching small prey.
