Therefore, Crypturellus means small hidden tail.[3]TaxonomyThe Brazilian tinamou is a monotypic species.[3] All tinamou are from the family Tinamidae, and in the larger scheme are also ratites. Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds.[4] DescriptionThe Brazilian tinamou is approximately {{convert|28|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length. It has reddish-brown upper parts, rufous throat, grey breast, whitish belly, and brown legs. The female has a distinct black barring and is ochraceous on its upper parts. BehaviorLike other tinamous, the Brazilian tinamou eats fruit off the ground or low-lying bushes. They also eat small amounts of invertebrates, flower buds, tender leaves, seeds, and roots. The male incubates the eggs which may come from as many as 4 different females, and then will raise them until they are ready to be on their own, usually 2–3 weeks. The nest is located on the ground in dense brush or between raised root buttresses.[4] Range and habitatThe Brazilian tinamou lives in tropical or sub-tropical lowland moist forest up to {{convert|500|m|ft|abbr=on}}.[5] This species is native to northwestern Bolivia, southern Amazonian Brazil and eastern Peru.[6] ConservationThe IUCN list this bird as Least Concern,[1] with an occurrence range of {{convert|2600000|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}.[5] Footnotes1. ^1 {{IUCN|id=22678188 |title=Crypturellus strigulosus |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^Brands, S.
