Kamichi à collier - Si l'envol est difficile, il vole très bien malgré sa taille et son poids relativement élevés (près de 1m et 4 à 4,5kg). Il peut planer pendant des heures. Ils se rassemblent en dortoir où ils dorment debout dans l'eau peu profonde.

. Nome Popular: Tachã English Name: Southern Screamer Família / Family: Anhimidae Nome Científico: Chauna torquata Mede cerca de 80cm de comprimento e pesa cerca de 4Kg. De coloração pardo-acinzentada escura, com algumas manchas brancas, cabeçuda e topetuda. O pescoço é contornado por uma gola negra realçada por uma segunda penugem branca. A face superior da asa é negra, com grande área branca visível durante o vôo, a face inferior da asa é totalmente branca. Região perioftálmica, anel nu ao redor do pescoço (nem sempre visível), pernas são vermelhas. Não há dimorfismo sexual, as fêmeas são menores que os machos. As patas são curtas e fortes e os três dedos da frente estão unidos por uma membrana interdigital rudimentar. Grande habitante dos brejos, com formato e características únicas. O corpo, pernas e pés são enormes em relação à cabeça, pequena e com um penacho na nuca. Em vôo, mostra uma grande área branca sob a asa. Possui um esporão vermelho no cotovelo da asa, visível quando está pousada ou voando. Apesar do aspecto agressivo, não é usado como arma de ataque, servindo para comunicação entre as tachãs. Alimenta-se, principalmente, de folhas de plantas aquáticas, apanhadas enquanto caminha pelo brejo ou nas margens, assim como insetos e moluscos. É monogâmica e territorialista. Pousa nas praias ou nas árvores da mata ribeirinha. Constrói um enorme ninho de folhas emaranhadas sobre um arbusto ou árvore pequena, sempre sobre a água. Coloca de 2 a 7 ovos, chocados durante cerca de 45 dias. Geralmente o macho passa mais tempo chocando os ovos, revezando com a fêmea quando precisar se alimentar mas nunca deixam o ninho sozinho. Os filhotes saem do ninho logo depois de nascerem ou no dia seguinte, cobertos com penugem semelhante a dos patinhos. Caminham com os pais, ficando imóveis e escondidos na vegetação ao primeiro grito de alerta. Os juvenis recebem os cuidados parentais de ambos os progenitores durante 3 a 4 meses. Por volta dos 5 meses completam a plumagem e podem voar. . . . . . . #wildbird #feather_perfection #birdlove #wildbirds #bird_watchers_daily #birdslover #bird_brillance #birds_of_ig #birdsofinstagram #cutebirds #birdart #cuiabá #cuiaba (em Cuiabá, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkwaHmsvO6R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Southern Screamer (Chauna torquata), family Anhimidae, order Anseriformes, found in wetlands in central South America

Mainly herbivorous waterfowl, in the same order as ducks and geese, but in a different family.

Screamers prefer to walk/wade through their habitats, instead of swimming. They can swim, but are not as proficient as ducks and geese.

Name: Chauna torquata (Southern Screamer), C. chavaria (Northern Screamer)

Status: Extant

First Described: 1811

Described By: Illiger

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves, Eumaniraptora, Averaptora, Avialae, Euavialae, Avebrevicauda, Pygostylia, Ornithothoraces, Euornithes, Ornithuromorpha, Ornithurae, Neornithes, Neognathae, Galloanserae, Anseriformes, Anhimae, Anhimidae 

Chauna is our second genus of Screamers, and it is a more widespread bird type than Anhima - living in Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela. The two species are essentially divided by the range of the other genus - despite being more closely related to each other than they are to Anhima. The Southern Screamer has a bigger range and is also not threatened with extinction; whereas the Northern Screamer has a more limited range and is considered Near Threatened.

The Northern Screamer, which lives entirely in Colombia and Venezuela, is dark in color with a white ruffle of feathers around its neck and red skin. They are about 88.9 centimeters long, making them a quite large species of screamer. Interestingly enough, they’re rarely kept in captivity such as zoos.

The Southern Screamer lives in Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, and feeds mainly on plant stems, seeds, and leaves. It’s usually about 81 to 95 centimeters in length and are the heaviest of the screamer species. They live, mainly, in tropical and sub-tropical swamps, and they have webbed feet to aid in swimming, though they prefer the land. Their color changes from brown to white based on season, and in order to mate, the males and females scream loudly at each other and can be heard from up to two miles away. The pair mates for life, and they make nests out of reeds and other aquatic plants near the water’s edge, and lay between two and seven eggs at a time. Though their chicks are able to move about immediately - precocial - they are taken care of by the parents for multiple weeks before fully living on their own. They are not picky eaters and excellent fliers, and that plus their loud scream means they actually are domesticated as guard animals!
