Rufous-headed Chachalaca

A medium-sized cracid (~630 g) of family Cracidae, with a striking rufous head. Inhabits humid and deciduous forests, forest edges, and scrub in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. Feeds on fruits and leaves in the forest understory and canopy. Vulnerable due to extensive deforestation in the Tumbesian region, one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots.

Sira Curassow

쾨프케큰부리새는 페루 안데스 산맥 동사면의 구름 숲에 서식하는 대형 멧닭목 새입니다. 이 희귀한 새는 독일계 페루 조류학자 마리아 쾨프케의 이름을 딴 것으로, 극히 제한된 분포와 서식지 파괴로 인해 심각한 위기종입니다.
