Crax alberti

Crax alberti, the blue-billed curassow, is a critically endangered large galliform (Cracidae) endemic to the lowland forests of northern Colombia and possibly historically Venezuela. Males weigh up to 3.5 kg and bear a distinctive curly crest and pale blue bill knob. A frugivore and seed disperser of humid tropical forests, it is critically threatened by hunting and deforestation. Subfossil records document its former wider distribution across northern South America.
