Horned Curassow Pauxi unicornis Scientific name definitions

Horned Curassow is known from just one small region, in central Bolivia, and is considered Critically Endangered globally by BirdLife International. The plumage is virtually all black, other than the white vent and tip to the tail; the bill is bright red and a pale blue, upright casque erupts from the forehead. In addition to having only a small geographic distribution, it also seems to be confined to a narrow elevational band (ca 400-1300 m) along the base of the Andes, and is threatened by hunting and deforestation.
