In northern Australia, certain raptor species including black kites, whistling kites, and brown falcons (collectively called 'firehawks') have developed a unique survival strategy where they intentionally start wildfires by snatching smoldering sticks from existing fires and carrying them to dry grass areas to ignite new fires, which flush out prey such as rodents, lizards, and insects for hunting; this behavior, known to Aboriginal Australians for generations, was only scientifically documented in 2017.
