Guyana's national bird is the hoatzin, and this primmitve looking bird is believed to be evolved from dinosaurs. This bird has a short fat body, stout legs and feet, a long broad tail, long scruffy neck, and a tiny head capped by a crest of spiky feathers. It hardly ever flies, and when it does, it is only for short distances. Its strong musky odor helps to keep predators away.
