Cinereous tinamou
The cinereous tinamou (''Crypturellus cinereus''), also known as brushland tinamou, is a type of ground bird found in swamp and lowland forests in northern South America.〔 They have some localized names that have been used by the indigenous people such as in Amazonas where they are called ''inambu-pixuna'', and in Pará, Brazil where they are called ''nambu-sujo''. Also, throughout their range they are called ''inhambu-preto''. Cinereous tinamous have been around for many centuries. They are part of the oldest families of the world today and have fossils discovered dating back tens of millions of years. Their quick reflexes play a role in their ability to survive.
==Taxonomy==
The cinereous tinamou is a monotypic species.〔 All tinamous 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.〔Davies, S. J. J. F. (2003)〕 Gmelin originally placed this bird in the Tetrao genus, as ''Tetrao cinereus'',〔 which is indicative of its apparent, but incorrect, closeness to the other game birds.
