The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin), also known as the stinkbird, or Canje pheasant, is a species of bird found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco Delta in South America. It is notable for having chicks that possess claws on two of their wing digits. It is the only member of the genus Opisthocomus (Ancient Greek: "wearing long hair behind", referring to its large crest),[2] which in turn is the only extant genus in the family Opisthocomidae. The taxonomic position of this family has been greatly debated, and is still far from clear.

- A Hoatzin is a primitive bird of prey found in north-east Khul. It has clawed wing-tips with which it impales its victims. It soars down upon them from a great height and then folds its wings so as to aim the wing-tips at the victim. It then tears at the flesh with its barbed beak.
