Cauca Guan
Penelope perspicax
The Cauca guan inhabits cloud forests and forest edges on the western slopes of Colombia's Andes. It forages in trees and on the ground for fruits, leaves, flowers, and seeds, helping disperse the seeds of many forest plants. This large cracid is endemic to Colombia and is threatened by habitat loss and hunting.
