🌎 Great curassow (Crax rubra) The great curassow is a large, pheasant-like bird with marked sexual dimorphism. Males are glossy black with a curly crest, white belly, and a prominent yellow knob on their bill. Females exhibit three color morphs: barred, rufous, or dark brown, with a black-and-white crest. They are distributed throughout Neotropical rainforests, from eastern Mexico through Central America to western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Primarily ground-dwelling, they forage for fruits, seeds, and arthropods, but roost and nest in trees. Monogamous, they often travel in pairs or small groups, communicating with grunts and booming male calls. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Vulnerable (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by FINTANOBRIEN via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/great-curassow-bird-costa-rica-1080725/ JCFQ
