Birds of Peru: Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin)

Birds of Peru: Hoatzin

[@Vulpio7775]

-Crocodilians have genetic relations to birds, including a gene which codes feathers -Most archosaurs and dinosaurs were warm blooded, like mammals and birds -Dromeosaurs and primitive avialans were covered in feathers, many even having flight-based capabilities. -the closest relatives to modern birds first appeared in the Cretaceous, one group having different shoulder placements and nesting non-arboreally. Like dromeosaurs and earlier avialans, they possessed wing claws and/or teeth. -The Hoatzin possesses claws on It's wings from embryonic stage but gradually loses them until they become the standard fingerbones seen in birds when the animal reaches adulthood. Bird-dinosaur relationship/Ophisthocomidae is the last living line of primitive avialans confirmed.

Here in the Bolivia savanna Biome we feed them raw meat from our yards and porches everyone calls them Serere Bird I think it comes from indigenous Chiquitano Besiro savanna people

[@robinampipparampil]

Wonderful flying dinosaurs! We have them all around us. These ones are brilliant! The Hoatzin outstretched wings are reminiscent of archaeopteryx.

I LIKE VERY HE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

[@luizgeraldosilveira878]

I LIKE AND LOVE THE BIRDS

[@StowAlex]

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! Greetings from USA

[@activemotionpictures]

Awesome footage! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@WanderingSoleTV]

Nice. They're beautiful!

[@2Granule]

My hypothesis is that the 'mammal-like reptiles' of the Permian were the original source of the skin structures we now find in all subsequent land animals. (and not amphibians). drawing lines from one Vert. Class to another is VERY premature! "Special skin bumps long known to direct the development of hair in mammals and feathers in birds also turn out to signal scale growth in reptiles, implying all three structures evolved from a shared ancestor, scientists report online June 24 in Science Advances." "The next step is to understand how hairs, feathers and scales diversified from the same ancestral structure. That primordial body covering wasn’t necessarily a scale, says evolutionary biologist Günter Wagner, an author of the 2015 Yale study. “Even though intuitively you would think reptilian-like skin is ancestral, compared to mammals,” he says “it’s entirely unclear what kind of structure the scales and feathers on the one side and hair on the other has evolved from.”

I had the pleasure to encounter these goofy looking birds in Ecuador back in October 2018

@riocorbones algo asi dicen que no han evolucionado mucho? pero su capacidad para digerir fibra los hace menos dependientes de alimento.

[@nubonamission]

Wow great footage

[@_kristeena_]

They are herbivores. So probably you have a different bird in mind

[@kalyanishanmugam5204]

I envy birds. They are able to fly In the sky.

[@NaiefThegoony]

Kalyani Shanmugam you know how scary and stressing flying must feel like right ? It's like swimming you have to filail your hand around for god knows how long

[@luizgeraldosilveira878]

Que aves grades muito bonotas. I LIKE.

[@xesview]

Greeting from Indonesia, thank you for the video

[@stratocaster539]

Nice work! A very unusual bird?

[@napirahnarehofficial2668]

stratocaster539 never seen it before either??? beautiful

[@megapowergirl100]

beautiful birds :)

[@mbhsug]

Muy bonito! Estas aves son raros?

[@Showoneview]

muy buen video amigo dios te bendiga

[@riocorbones]

Estas aves parecen el eslabon perdido entre los dinosaurios y las aves.

[@ThemanlyTor]

These birds tell us that dinosaurs evolved beaks before the fingers disappeared.

[@VegetoStevieD]

They're so good!

[@waldomar64]

great video you made thanks for sharing ;-)Pim

[@mbhsug]

El segundo nombre en Alemania es el ave hedor. (No sé si he traducido correctamente. Lo siento por mi español malo.)

[@maniconpasas7378]

Que parte del Perú es?

[@lizardzilla]

All birds are dinosaurs but not all dinosaurs are birds

[@Showoneview]

wow amigo esta bien suave el video dios te bendiga

[@sofia94242]

amazing!!

[@iplay6999]

Prey or predator?

[@stratocaster539]

I suppose all birds are in some way?

[@mazoklug]

All birds are dinosaurs for god sake, all Neornithes are within the Dinosauria order

[@dr.godfreylambwell2260]

That's like saying we are all prehistoric apes. Just because we came from them doesn't mean we still are. That's what makes evolution what it is. Yes, they are said to be modern dinosaurs, but they aren't really dinosaurs-if they were, dinosaurs wouldn't even be called specifically the dinosaurs.

[@xXAISPXx]

+Pinfire Birds are dinosaurs. The evidence is overwhelming. Just do your research.

[@TheAtroxious]

+Pinfire See, that's the thing. Humans are apes, just like birds are dinosaurs. The way phylogenetic classification works is that an animal never stops being part of its ancestral group. It merely becomes a sub-group of all its ancestral types. It is impossible to trace a clear delineation of when humans stopped being apes, or when birds stopped being dinosaurs, because evolution is not as simple as a straight, clean change of features. Classification has to reflect this, otherwise clarity is obscured and confusion ensues. The only viable explanation for the bird lineage is that they are, in fact, dinosaurs.

[@touhouclassicreimu1983]

And this why furries and zoophila using this word (humans are animals so breastfeeding sissy puppies and having sex with animals is okay) the evolution is part of porn and nasty things And birds are birds ovi dinosaurs are birds with some dino style just like the kangaroo a mammal standing like dinosaur

[@dr.godfreylambwell2260]

+TheAtroxious I'm just saying they aren't THE dinosaurs. Big difference between a family that split off from a main group and just being the same thing from millions of years ago. Birds are birds. Dinosaurs are dinosaurs. Not the exact same thing, but you're right about it being messy. If that were true, then there wouldn't be talk about "the extinction of dinosaurs". Birds started branching off into their own family mainly during and after "the dinosaurs" were wiped out, right? Obviously we can't say for sure but we do know they became something other than just "dinosaurs", they became the birds. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Yes, they are "today's dinosaurs", but they still are not a full dinosaur.

[@Okowa407]

Little pterodactyls

[@stratocaster539]

Kinda archeopteryx?

[@MrEnaga]

ツメバケイ

[@2Granule]

all dinosaurs are derived from archosaurs: a bipedal crocodilian-like ancestor. So, are you proposing that birds are flying crocs? Smearing the lineages to invent relationships is not ann accurate way to look at lineages. Actually, if you want to smear lineages further you can make reptiles and mammals just fish with aspirations, and atmospheric respirations

[@ashleysmashley9022]

Actually, Crocs are bird's closest LIVING relative. There are many species that are more closely related to birds that are now extinct. Archaeopteryx (the first obvious birdlike ancestor) appeared about 160 mya but the ancestor to crocs and birds diverged 200 mya. Birds are thought to be related most closely to the raptor type dinosaurs with one possibility being the Dromaeosauridae. So, in a sense, crocs and birds aren't that related but of the modern organisms, they are the closest to each other. The Hoatzin is possibly a species that is the descendant of a species that split away from the rest of bird lineage early on.

[@lordeli8866]

The Archaeopteryx in the flesh right there, a living fossil folks evilution slapped in the face once again

[@charlesdarwin2118]

you said it.

[@lharris2able]

Proof of evolution from reptiles.

[@mazoklug]

+lharris2able Birds are technically reptiles

[@lharris2able]

+Jonathan Telles And some even more so...like the Hoatzin. Proof in evolution...by my standards.

[@mazoklug]

lharris2able A hoatzin is no more reptile than a pigeon for example. The same way a cat is no more mammal than a dog. By the way i believe in evolution.

[@lharris2able]

+Jonathan Telles Well it certainly looks like a transition stage where the more birdlike dinosaurs were evolving into birds and the claw on the young used for climbing proves my point. But I agree what you say about birds being dinosaurs. Attenborough said the same thing..

[@dr.godfreylambwell2260]

Birds are not reptiles. The Hoatzin used to be considered to be a modern Archeopteryx, however more recently it's said that the Hoatzin actually may have developed claws later on due to the young often having to take cover underwater often in times of attack, so that they could climb back up. I do believe in evolution but birds are not reptiles. The Hoatzin isn't good proof of evolution at all if it's true that claws were not present until farther on down the line.

[@darioa.l4324]

Hurricane hoatzin xd

[@touhouclassicreimu1983]

The Hoatzin is 100%100 bird the Darwinism geek's think he is a half crocodile lol

[@lharris2able]

You are ignorant. You know nothing of science. Instead you sound like a good Catholic as you let Bible do your thinking.

[@steveheidenreich9183]

Wth. The Vatican itself has endorsed evolution. You're the ignorant one.

[@steveheidenreich9183]

don't you know that the opinions of people with anime profile pictures are automatically discounted 100%?

[@touhouclassicreimu1983]

Steve Heidenreich nonsense

[@lharris2able]

Steve Heidenreich But evolution clashes with the Adam and Eve myth. Be logical!

[@jorgealbertoaraizaperez6707]

Y la explicación ?
