Anambé-papudo
(Cephalopterus penduliger) encontrado na Colômbia e Equador. Os machos
dessa espécie possuem um "papo" no peito que pode chegar a medir 45cm de
comprimento, e é inflado durante a corte, atraindo a atenção das
fêmeas. É uma espécie vulnerável à extinção, pois depende de trechos de
floresta tropical primária que está sendo rapidamente devastadas pela
colonização humana.
