Thought To Be Extinct For 100 Years

10,000 Birds

The story of the White-winged Guan , in some ways resembles the re-discovery of some species thought to be extinct. Some remained stored for decades before a researcher would pick them up and inquired about these poorly documented specimens. A Guan was collected in 1876 in a mangrove forest near the border between Peru and Ecuador.
