Like all screamers, the Southern Screamer has an extremely dangerous weapon. Each wing has two long, bony spurs. They are similar to a dagger and are razor-sharp. They use them to defend themselves against enemies and in fights.
Southern Screamers have adapted well to their swampy habitat. Their legs are long and strong. Their really long toes are only partially webbed. They use them to distribute weight evenly and protect themselves from sinking.
