Week 8 - Assignment 1

This is what I understood after reading the paragraph on hoatzin. I understood that a hoatzin is a type of animal that can probably fly. It is a tree dweller possibly living in a warm climate surrounded by small bodies of water such as streams or swamps. It escapes from predators and uses the water as a shield to protect itself. It is a good climber and it goes through many changes as it grows into an adult.


After doing research online, I learned that it is type of bird native to South America. My assumptions about the animal were somewhat correct. I got a better understanding of how the hoatzin survives in the swamps of South America. Having done some research it gives me a better understanding of what the bird looks like and its natural habitat.
