The hoatzin, also known as the reptile bird, skunk bird, stinkbird, or Canje pheasant, is a species of tropical bird found in swamps, forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco basins in South America. The hoatzin is pheasant-sized, with a long neck and small head. It has an unfeathered blue face with maroon eyes, and its head is topped by a spiky, rufous crest.

It is notable for its foul scent, caused by fermentation of food in its digestive system and lending it its alternative name of "stinkbird", as well as having chicks that have claws on two of their wing digits utilized for climbing.
