Thought To Be Extinct For 100 Years

10,000 Birds

A Guan was collected in 1876 in a mangrove forest near the border between Peru and Ecuador. A large and striking bird like this would be hard to neglect in a museum collection. Guans have also been introduced in the Laquipampa Wildlife Refuge. This flock is composed of about 54 birds including nine breeding pair.
