TIPOS DE ANIMALES
 THE WONDERFUL HUMMINGBIRD
• This beautiful bird lives in the Peruvian Amazon, in an
area no larger than 2 thousand square kilometers. The
male has two long feathers and is a very rare animal.
Their situation is dangerous, because the forests are
continually destroyed for livestock and firewood
extraction.
• And as if that were not enough, the residents of that
place hunt them. For them, catching it is a real
challenge since it flies very fast and unfortunately,
this species does not exist in any protected area.

extinction:
DWELL:
It lives in ravines of the dry forests of the
Peruvian North Coast.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The White-winged Guan has beautiful brown plumage
with pale spots on the neck, upper back and chest. They
have bare gray skin around the eyes and face. They
have a bright red throat and dewlap. The white-winged
guan has white flight feathers, hence the name.
FEEDING:
The white-winged guan feeds mainly on vegetables (fruits,
flowers, seeds and leaves) of at least 34 species of dry forest
trees and shrubs. It plays a key role in a healthy and balanced
environment, promoting forest growth through seed dispersal.

REASONS WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION:

YELLOW-TAILED WOOLLY
MONKEY

• Physical characteristics:
• Feeding:
• Reasons why it is in danger of
extinction:
DWELL:
This monkey lives in the Andean regions of the
north of the country, mainly in cloud forest and
mountainous areas. Its distribution areas are in
the regions of Amazonas, San Martín and La
Libertad.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The yellow-tailed mussel is the largest of the mammals endemic to
Peru. Adults can measure 54 cm in length (head/body), with their
tails being longer than their bodies (up to 63 cm). Its fur is woolly,
dense and coppery in color. It is characterized by a patch of white
hairs surrounding the mouth and by the band of yellow hairs on the
ventral third of the tail. Adult males have a golden yellow genital
tuft, up to 15 cm long.
FEEDING:
The yellow-tailed woolly monkey feeds on
fruits, leaves and insects. Being arboreal
(lives in trees) it requires large areas of
forest to survive.
REASONS WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION:
Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered due
to the loss of its natural habitat due to deforestation
and forest fragmentation, as well as hunting. The
conservation of its habitats and the implementation of
protection programs are essential for the survival of the
yellow-tailed woolly monkey.
 TITICACA FROG

• Dwell:
• Physical characteristics:
• Feeding:
• Reasons why it is in danger of
extinction:
DWELL:
This frog lives exclusively in the cold, well-
oxygenated waters of the lake, at altitudes of
around 3,800 meters above sea level.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The frogs of Lake Titicaca are large and can
measure around 25 centimeters long, with many folds
in the skin along the abdomen, legs, stomach and
neck. Its color can be varied, from olive green with
a peach-colored belly, from gray to black, even with
spots on the back. Some even completely black.
FEEDING:
The diet of the Lake Titicaca giant frog consists mainly of
amphipods, snails, insects, tadpoles and fish. It is adapted to its
aquatic environment and depends on the availability of prey in
Lake Titicaca. This frog has feeding habits that help it take
advantage of the resources available in its unique habitat.

REASONS WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION:

The species is critically endangered due to several threats, including
water pollution, the introduction of invasive species, overexploitation
by humans for consumption and traditional medicine, as well as the
destruction of its natural habitat. Conservation of the Titicaca frog
is crucial and requires joint efforts to protect its habitat and
mitigate the threats it faces.
 HUAPO COLORADO
• Dwell:
• Physical characteristics:
• Feeding:
• Reasons why it is in danger of
extinction:
DWELL:
It lives only in the Amazon Plain of Peru,
north of the Amazon River.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The red huapo has a dense, woolly coat, with a predominantly dark
brown or black coloration on the body. His face is distinctive for being
white, which contrasts markedly with the rest of his body. These
jumpsuits are medium size. Males are usually larger than females, with
weight ranging between 1.5 and 2.5 kg and a body length (excluding tail)
of approximately 30 to 40 cm. The tail is long and hairy, although it is
not prehensile. It is mainly used for balance while moving between trees.
 FEEDING:
They make up the majority of their diet. Red huapos prefer the ripe, juicy
fruits they find in the jungle. Eating seeds and nuts is common, especially
those that they can crack with their strong jaws. They complement their
diet with leaves, particularly tender ones. Occasionally, they feed on
flowers and the nectar they produce.
REASONS WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION:
The species is listed as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and
hunting. Deforestation and the expansion of human activities
in the Amazon are the main threats to its survival.
Conservation programs and the protection of its habitat are
essential for its preservation.
THE PERUVIAN BRANCH CUTTER
• Dwell:
• Physical characteristics:
• Feeding:
• Reasons why it is in danger of
extinction:
DWELL:
The Peruvian Cortarama is found on the northern coast of
Peru, particularly in the departments of Lambayeque, La
Libertad and Piura. It lives mainly in the dry forests of the
coastal region. These forests are characterized by their low
precipitation and vegetation adapted to arid conditions.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Measures 18.5 cm. It has a relatively short and powerful beak,
with a somewhat rounded tip and slightly serrated edges. It has
a striking crest that bristles when alarmed. The more colorful
male is ash gray on its dorsal areas, darker on the wings and
tail, which also have various white markings. Pale ashy gray
underparts, turning reddish on the belly. It also has a reddish
spot on its beak. The female has significantly duller colors. Her
voice is reminiscent of the scratching sound that occurs when
rubbing the teeth of a comb.
FEEDING:
In summary, the Peruvian Cortarama's diet is
composed mainly of leaves and shoots, complemented
by fruits, seeds and flowers, using its specialized beak
to feed on these plant sources.
REASONS WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION:
The Peruvian Cortarama is in danger of extinction mainly due to
the loss, degradation and fragmentation of its habitat,
exacerbated by factors such as climate change and competition
with introduced species. Conservation of this species requires
efforts to protect and restore its natural habitat, as well as
measures to mitigate anthropogenic threats.
