Wattled Guan

A large cracid (~1.4 kg) of family Cracidae, all-black with a distinctive yellow and blue wattle hanging from the throat. Inhabits montane cloud forests of the Andes from Venezuela and Colombia south to Peru, at 500–2,500 m elevation. Arboreal, feeding on fruits and seeds. Least Concern; inhabits remote Andean cloud forests where it remains relatively undisturbed.

Inhabits dry forest edges, gallery woodlands, and scrubby vegetation at low to mid elevations. Forages in social groups for fruits, seeds, and leaves. Least Concern; though endemic to Colombia, it is common within its restricted range and adapts to modified habitats.
