Global warming may have a particularly detrimental influence on the population of the Lesser Prairie-chicken, as it has greatly reduced the size of the sagebrush ecosystem where it resides.

Concealment

With their coloration & markings, when the White-cheeked Barbet sits still and perches upright, they are difficult to spot. They feed in trees, for diverse fruits, flowers, nectar, and animal matter. Usually, they are alone but sometimes they can be seen in groups of over 20.

It has expanded its range into
several human-dominated habitats in Southern India.
