Тезаурус:
- Often there was a lonely John Crow wheeling over the hilltops in an unhurried search for carrion, and Martha thought that the big black bird must enjoy a superior view on the world.
- The Carrion swoop around the adventurers, but make no attempt to carry anyone off.
- the nuances will be much more finely discriminated in the scent of flowers than in the stench of carrion.
- Eagles, falcons, hawks, buzzards, kites and caracaras also find dead animals, known as carrion, to eat.
- Sweeping up from the adventurers' blind side (either a ridge line above their heads or out of the mist) comes a ragged flock of Carrion, one of these undead birds for every two adventurers (but at least three in any event).
- These were trivial afflictions compared with the burden which had disappeared, gone like the flapping black wings of carrion crow that had gorged enough on the dead flesh in the field.
- The diet of the red kite seems to consist largely of carrion and some birds.
- Small took out a knife and skinned the lambs: bone and sinew were mangled behind their necks, and there was much blood, showing that the lambs had been killed by foxes, rather than taken as carrion by crows.
- When other meat is scarce they are not above eating carrion in an advanced state of decomposition, which suggests that their olfactory system is not particularly sensitive.
- Unlike most other fabled beasts it preferred to scavenge carrion from the forest floor rather than kill for fresh meat.
- They detect the presence of carrion by sight.
- One vulture sighting carrion below unintentionally informs all others of its availability by swooping downwards, and thus dozens of vultures arrive at the scene of an animal kill in a very short space of time.
- It is known to pick up tortoises, birds eggs and carrion, which may be stolen from other predators.
