The hook-billed fulvetta is a bird about 19 centimeters long with a noticeably curved beak. It lives in the canopies of tropical forests in South America and feeds on insects.
The hook-billed fulvetta differs from other fulvettas with its strongly curved beak, which helps extract insects from hard-to-reach places. It regulates insect populations in the forest and serves as food for larger predators.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
