Why it matters
The Red-winged Tinamou is a terrestrial ground-dweller from South America, notable for its rounded wings and tail which are adapted more for brief, explosive bursts of flight than sustained travel. While it belongs to the ancient lineage of paleognaths, it is frequently studied by ornithologists for its unique evolutionary history and its tendency to remain hidden within the tall grasses of its grassland habitat.
