Editing Bird of prey (section)

==Possible inclusion of Cariamiformes==
[[Cariamiformes]] is an order of [[telluravian]] birds consisting of the living [[seriemas]] and extinct [[terror bird]]s. Jarvis et al. 2014 suggested including them in the category of birds of prey,<ref name = "Jarvis2014.2">{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1126/science.1253451 |pmid=25504713|url=https://pgl.soe.ucsc.edu/jarvis14.pdf| title = Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds| journal = Science| volume = 346| issue = 6215| pages = 1320–1331| date = 2014| last1 = Jarvis | first1 = E.

However, seriemas were not traditionally considered birds of prey, and they are still not considered birds of prey in general parlance. They were traditionally classified in the order [[Gruiformes]], but later research has reclassified them into [[Cariamiformes]].

The bodies of seriemas are also shaped somewhat differently from birds of prey. Their legs and necks are significantly longer than those of typical raptors, although the [[secretarybird]]s (traditionally considered raptors) also have comparably long legs. The beaks of seriemas are hooked (as in raptors), but are longer than those of typical raptors.
