The tamakai is a pale-feathered raptorial urvogel found in the mountains of Pakardia. In the recent description of it by the Assembly, the tamakai was found to be a second Pakardiant species of Cynoheirax, C. orovenator, though some argue for a unique genus given the lack of recorded hybridization with jackalbirds despite the range overlap, although the highlands are poorly explored. They have been likened to something like snow leopards or golden eagles, hunting larger prey like ibex by dragging it off a cliff using their flight and letting gravity make the kill. With large females pushing 40 pounds, tamakai are larger than jackalbirds and push the limits of an acrobatically volant bird, and though all raptorial urvogels have flanged flight feathers that help them fly silently, the tamakai exaggerates this trait, being as silent in flight as owls. |
