Pengana

''Pengana robertbolesi'', also referred to as the flexiraptor, is an extinct bird of prey that lived during the Early Miocene (23–16 million years ago). Living relatives of ''P. robertbolesi'' may include the harriers. When alive, it may have resembled a cross between the secretary bird and crested caracara.
Its remains were found in Riversleigh, Queensland, Australia. ''P. robertbolesi'' is only known from a tibiotarsus (ankle bone). However, this is of most peculiar construction, allowing the leg to be swivelled backwards and sideways. The bird was thus well adapted to reaching into holes and crevices and extracting prey. The vernacular name ''flexiraptor'' was coined to reflect this ability.
