Info from Licensor: "These incredible birds live in the tropical forests of central and South America. I found this bird posing about 30 ft away from me, eye-level. Those 'worms' on its face are known as wattles and are made of spongy tissue (skin) that allow them to shrink and elongate in order to attract the females, the bigger… the better! The sound it makes is one of the loudest ones on earth for a bird, can be heard up to a mile away!"
