Jerdon's Courser is a rare long-legged bird that lives only in India. It is active at night, runs quickly on the ground and catches insects.
Jerdon's Courser differs from other coursers by two white stripes on its neck. It is important for nature as a rare species that indicates the condition of the dry forests of India.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
