Artist's Description
The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is the only member of its family and is found in swamps and rainforests of the Amazon. It is a very unusual species, it eats only leaves and has a stomach system similar to that of a cow and full of bacteria to break down the celulose. This extra weight means it is a poor flier and the bacteria also give off a nasty smell, making it unattractive to predators. Young birds have claws on their wing joints which they use to climb tree branches until their wings are strong enough for flight.

Thank you Sharon! They're quite big, Wikipedia says 65cm / 26 inches, and make a strange loud wheezing hissing sound most of the time, not very birdlike!
