Long-tailed Ground-Roller

Uratelornis chimaera

Vulnerable

The Long-tailed Ground-Roller is a terrestrial Madagascar roller of spiny thicket and dry scrub of southwestern Madagascar. It spends much of its time on or near the forest floor, hunting insects, small reptiles, and other prey from low perches or leaf litter. Habitat loss and its limited or fragmented range make this species conservation-sensitive.
