Nat Hab's 2024 Guest Photo Contest

Hoatzin or Stinkbird, Peruvian Amazon, Peru
Oblivious Of The Odor That Identifies Us!

Species: Hoatzin Or Stinkbird | Location: Peruvian Amazon, Peru

These Hoatzin or Stinkbirds were seen in large numbers off the banks of a large Amazon tributary. We were greeted by a distinctive pungent-smelling odor emanating from this large colony of birds, generated by the fermentation of the leaves they consume.
