At about 30.3 million km (11.7 million squaremiles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20.4 % of its total land area. With 1.1 billion people as of 2013, it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population.

Although classed as waders , they inhabit deserts and similar arid regions . Like the pratincoles , the coursers are found in warmer parts of the Old World . They hunt insects by sight , pursuing them on foot . Species in the genus have earlier been placed under other genus names including Macrotarsius ( Blyth ) , Chalcopterus ( Reich . ) and Hemerodromus ( Heuglin ) . Some characteristics of this largely African genus include a bill that is shorter and stouter than in Cursorius , the orbits are feathered and the 2nd and 3rd primaries nearly equal and the longest . The tarsus is long and scutellate , the feet are short and the outer toe is joined by partial webbing . Their 2 -- 3 eggs are laid on the ground . - The coursers are a group of birds which together with the pratincoles make up the family Glareolidae.
