<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="calidris-ferruginea"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Calidris ferruginea, the curlew sandpiper, is a migratory shorebird of the family Scolopacidae that breeds in Siberian tundra and winters in Africa, South Asia, and Australia. Fossil material from Greece documents its Pleistocene presence in the eastern Mediterranean. It probes soft intertidal sediments for invertebrates with its long, decurved bill. Its striking rufous breeding plumage gives the species its name. Population declines are linked to habitat loss along its flyway.
Diet & Feeding
Calidris ferruginea was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.
