The Sclater's lark, a modest avian species, bears the scientific name Spizocorys sclateri. It is a member of the Alaudidae family, a lineage of larks known for their terrestrial habits and melodious songs.
Sclater's lark is found in the subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, a habitat that offers it the arid conditions it is adapted to.
The bird graces the landscapes of Namibia and South Africa, where it has made its home.
The species is currently classified as Near Threatened. The Sclater's lark faces challenges due to habitat loss, particularly in the Nama Karoo, where its population is both scarce and localised.
