Kalinowski's tinamou is a rare medium-sized ground bird. It lives in the highlands of Peru, runs quickly through grass, and hides from danger.
Kalinowski's tinamou differs from related species by its dark striped plumage and life on highland meadows. It disperses plant seeds and serves as food for predators.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
