The horned screamer (Anhima cornuta) is a large, waterfowl species native to the Amazon and  basins of South America, particularly in Brazil, Peru Colombia, and Venezuela. It is easily recognizable by the long, curved horn on its head, made of keratin, and its large, robust body. The bird has grayish-brown feathers and a striking white wing patch. Known for its loud, piercing calls, which can be heard over long distances, the horned screamer is a territorial species.
