What does LANNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large falcon, native to southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, valued in falconry.
The lanner is a large, powerful falcon found across parts of Europe, the Middle East and much of Africa, recognisable by its brownish back and pale, buff-coloured cap. It has long been prized in falconry for its speed and hunting skill, and the related term lanneret names the smaller male of the species. Wild populations have declined in some regions due to habitat loss and illegal trapping for the falconry trade. The bird hunts other birds and small mammals, often in fast, low pursuit close to the ground.
