Congrats! This spotting is being featured as a PN Fun Fact. Project Noah Fun Fact: The great curasow can stand almost a meter tall when full grown. Native to Mexico southwards throughout Central America and into Equador and Colombia, it ives in undisturbed humid evergreen forest and mangroves, and also seasonally dry forest in some areas at low to medium elevations.
