Tinamous are birds that live in the grasslands of South America. Ana Luz Porzecanski studies these birds. She uses their songs to help find them in their habitat.
Write a report that tells how a tinamou compares with another animal. Choose an animal that you know about, and see how it is the same as and different from a tinamou. You might choose another bird or a different type of animal. Here are some questions to think about:
How does a tinamou look and act?
In what type of habitat does a tinamou live?
What does the animal you chose look like? How does it act?
Where does the animal you chose live?
