Great curassow  (Crax rubra)

The nominate subspecies, C. r. rubra, is distributed from eastern Mexico south through Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) to western Colombia and western Ecuador (6) (10). The rarer subspecies, C. r. griscomi, is confined to Cozumel Island off Mexico, where just 300 birds were estimated to survive in 1996 (10) (11).

The great curassow is found in undisturbed humid evergreen forest and mangroves, and also seasonally dry forest in some areas (10), at low to medium elevations (6).
