Why it matters
The racket-tailed roller is distinguished by the elongated, spatula-tipped feathers of its tail, which set it apart from other members of the Coraciidae family. It is a prized subject for birdwatchers due to these unique, ornate tail streamers and its habit of perching prominently in the woodlands of southern and central Africa.
