Satisfying their hunger by any and all means available\u2026which means terrorizing their neighbors.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">But just who is this masked bandit? He\u2019s none other than the striated caracara, also known as Johnny Rook.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Despite their sometimes unsavory reputation, Johnny Rook is among the most intelligent of the bird species\u2014they\u2019re fearless, daring, and famously curious. They\u2019re also one of the rarest\u2014they exist only on the Falkland Islands and a few other small islands off the coast of South America. The population is thought to be less than 2500.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Johnny Rooks will eat just about anything but chicks are a favorite. They share these islands with the world\u2019s largest breeding population of endangered black-browed albatross\u2026and this season\u2019s brood has arrived. This little guy doesn\u2019t stand a chance.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Young gangs of Johnny Rooks are even bolder\u2026going after prey much larger than themselves. This Johnny Rook is resolute, using his long talons to dig into the fur seal pup\u2019s back. He will not give up.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The whole gang appears\u2026wanting a piece of the action. But the pup\u2019s cries don\u2019t go unheeded, and mother comes to the rescue.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Their plot foiled, the birds take to the wing again and wait for the next opportunity.</p>",
