The wattled curassow (Crax globulosa) is a large, forest-dwelling bird native to the Amazon Basin of Peru, Brazil. It is known for its distinctive wattle, a fleshy, colorful skin hanging from its neck, and its striking black and white plumage. This species is omnivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, leaves, and small animals, and is typically found in the dense, lowland rainforests near rivers.

Wattled curassows are ground-dwelling birds, often seen foraging on the forest floor, and are social, usually found in small groups. Unfortunately, they are classified as Endangered due to habitat loss, hunting, and deforestation, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.ee
