Hoatzin is a strange looking bird that lives in marshy areas by waterways in northern South America. Hoatzins are born with claws on their wings. The young birds use the claws to climb on tree branches until they learn to fly. The claws fall off as the birds mature.
The hoatzin has short, rounded wings and a long tail. Loose yellow plumes on part of its head give it a ruffled look. Its upper body is dark brown, and its underparts are buff colored. The hoatzin grows a bit larger than a pigeon and usually eats leaves and fruit. It usually lives in tree branches that hang over marshy waters.
Hoatzins have no close relatives. However, they may be remotely related to domestic poultry.
