The hoatzin, also known as the hoatzel, is a unique bird native to the Amazon rainforest and the surrounding regions of South America. It is known for its distinctive appearance, featuring a spiky crest, a blue face, and reddish-brown plumage. The hoatzin is notable for its unusual digestive system, which ferments leaves in a specialized crop, allowing it to primarily feed on foliage. Due to its unique characteristics, the hoatzin is often referred to as a "stinkbird" because of its strong odor, which results from the fermentation process.
