jacuguaçu
The jacuguaçu or jacuaçu (Penelope obscura) is a bird of the cracid family, which inhabits the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, in the Southeast and South regions of the country. Its distribution area also extends to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.
Characteristics
Prefers mountain forests, especially in the southeastern region of Brazil. It seems vaguely a peacock-hence its Castilian name pava de monte-by its size and elongated body and neck - that facilitate its access to the fruits, since they allow it to introduce the body and / or the head between the branch - The peacock was characterized by the absence of a long tail, brilliant plumage, and marked sexual dimorphism. It has little developed deer, having no crest, and a basically dark plumage, between black and brown. He has red eyes. It is distinguished from its close relative, the jacupemba (Penelope superciliaris), because it is larger and has dark legs, pulling gray (hence its scientific name, obscure) while the jacupemba is smaller (55 cm.) And has reddish legs
