The grey tinamou (''Tinamus tao'') is a type of ground bird native to South America. Four subspecies are recognised. ==Taxonomy== All tinamou are from the family Tinamidae, and in the larger scheme are also ratites. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds.〔Davies, S. J. J. F. (2003)〕 The grey tinamou has several subspecies: * ''T. t. larensis'' with a range in the montane forests of central Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.〔Clements, J (2007)〕 * ''T. t. kleei'' with a range of south-central Colombia, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, eastern Bolivia, and western Brazil.〔 * ''T. t. septentrionalis'' with a range of northeastern Venezuela and possibly northwestern Guyana.〔 * ''T. t. tao'' with a range of north central Brazil, far eastern Peru, and far northwestern Bolivia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grey tinamou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
