Three young bare-faced curassow chicks which were born recently in a natural park have given a glimmer of hope to this vulnerable species that was declared extinct in a province in Argentina over 50 years ago.

The bare-faced curassow (Crax fasciolata) is a large bird whose main threat was from hunters, as it is similar to a chicken but much bigger.
