*The name of the superorder is derived from

paleognath, the ancient Greek for "old jaws" in

reference to the skeletal anatomy of the palate,which is described as more primitive and reptilian

than that in other birds. The Palaeognathae consists

of two orders which comprise 49 existing species.

orders which have a total of nearly ten

staggering diversity of form (especially of the

bill and feet), function, and behaviour that are

seen today.
