Spix’s Guan by JoJan, CC BY-SA 3.0 

Penelope is the primary genus of Guans, leading to the name for the entire Guan sub-family. These birds have loud, honking calls, and live in tropical forests in Latin America. Many of these animals live in high altitudes and are shy; in addition, many others are critically endangered and rare to spot even in the best of times. They probably originated in the Andes mountains, and then dispersed from there; though it is difficult to figure out exactly when they first diverged from other Guans. 

Band-Tailed Guan by the Carnegie Museum, in the Public Domain 

The Band-Tailed Guan, P. argyrotis, is a currently nonthreatened species from Colombia and Venezuela, though it natural tropical mountain habitat is being degraded and could lead to general decrease in its population. The White-Winged Guan (P. albipennis), on the other hand, is one of those rarely observed and thus rarely photographed species - it is currently considered critically endangered. It’s last known range is in northwestern Peru, and it grew to about 70 centimeters in length, generally resembling turkeys on a superficial level. Due to severe loss of suitable habitat, as well as extensive hunting, it is extremely rare; but there are repopulation efforts ongoing. They have dark brown feathers, white wing feathers, and pale flecking on the neck, as well as a bare red throat. 

Bearded Guan by Francesco Veronesi, CC BY-SA 2.0 

The Bearded Guan, P. barbata, is a vulnerable species from Ecuador and Peru, mainly in wet mountain forest. Due to deforestation for agriculture and mining, it is threatened by habitat loss. It is uncertain what it eats, though it is known to be monogamous and territorial in its breeding range. They reach sexual maturity at two years, and reproduce until they are twenty years old. They are brown birds, with white speckled neck feathers, and a silver crown of feathers on it its head. The Red-Faced Guan, P. dabbenei, is a nonthreatened species known from the borders of northern Argentina and the southern border of Bolivia, living mainly in moist mountain forest. 

Spix’s Guan by Patty Ho, CC BY 2.0 

Spix’s Guan, P. jacquacu, is a nonthreatened species found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela. Living in tropical moist lowland forest, it isn’t as threatened by habitat loss as other members of this genus yet. It has speckled feathers and a bright red wattle that makes this species fairly distinct. 

White-Browed Guan by Huub Veldhuijzen van Zanten, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The White-Borowed Guan, P. jacucaca, is a vulnerable species from Brazil, and a very limited region of Brazil, which means that the species is extensively threatened by habitat loss as well as hunting. These birds are distinctive due to their white tufts of feathers on their heads. 

Marail Guan by Hector Bottai, CC BY-SA 4.0 

THe Marail Guan, P. marail, also has a red wattle, but is mainly known from Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela, and so it rarely overlaps in range with Spix’s Guan. It is not threatened with extinction, and lives mainly in lowland tropical wet forest. 

Andean Guan by Joseph C. Boone, CC BY-SA 4.0 

P. montagnii, the Andean Guan, is a nonthreatened species mainly associated with the Andes Mountains, especially in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and even Argentina. They’re medium sized, growing about 58 centimeters in length, and look similar to other Guans in having round bodies and skinny necks and heads. They have blue facial skin and mainly brown feathers on their bodies. They live in the cloud forest and they follow the migration of army ants for food. They build their nests in trees, laying only one egg per season. They are vulnerable to habitat destruction, but doesn’t appear to be threatened, though it might be affected by habitat fragmentation going forward. 

Dusky-Legged Guan by Andreas Trepte, CC BY-SA 4.0 

The Dusky-Legged Guan, P. obscura, is a nonthreatened species from Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. It lives mainly in mountain forest as well as lowland forest, and is quite large, growing up to 73 centimeters in length. It also has a red wattle, though not as flappy, and speckled black feathers. It eats fruit, flowers, and buds from the ground, as well as seeds. 

Chestnut-Bellied Guan by Andreas Trepte, CC BY-SA 4.0 

P. orchrogaster, the Chestnut-Bellied Guan, is vulnerable species with distinctively brown feathers as well as a bright red wattle, in addition to white speckles all over its body. It also has bright red feathers on its chest to lead to its name. It is threatened with habitat loss, due to dry forest destruction in Brazil for farmland, which is th eonly habitat in which it lives. 

Baudo Guan by Frank Finn, in the Public Domain 

The Baudo Guan, P. ortoni, is an endangered species that has lost much of its natural range due to habitat destruction, as well as hunting. It is known from Colombia and Ecuador on the slopes of the Andes mountains, there might be less than 10000 mature individuals left today. It is mostly dark brown in color with some white patches on its neck. It lives on fruits in humid forest habitat, and makes loud, guttural calls, as well as warning whistles. It is, luckily, a species protected by law, with many programs in place for species conservation. The Cauca Guan, P. perspicax, is another very endangered species, living on the western slopes of the Andes of Colombia. They grow up to 76 centimeters in length, and live primarily in trees. It also has a red dewlap, and brown grey feathers. It is both threatened due to hunting and habitat loss. 

White-Crested Guan by Dalton Scavassa, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The White-Crested Guan, P. pileata, is another endangered species from the Amazon River in Brazil. It lives primarily in moist lowland forest and is threatened by extensive habitat destruction. It grows to about 80 centimeters in length and has a large crest of white feathers that gives it a very distinctive appearance. It makes a cackling call that is also distinctive in its habitat. 

Crested Guan by Autosafari, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The Crested Guan, P. purpurascens, is a large Guan from the lowland forests going all the way from Mexico to Ecuador and Venezuela. They have red dewlaps, brown plumage, and white speckles across their bodies. They make very keeling songs at dawn, as well as whistling calls. They grow very large, up to 91.5 centimeters in length. Luckily, the Crested Guan is not threatened with extinction, due to its very wide range and common presence within that range. It is a very social bird, living in family groups of up to 12 individuals, and walks along the branches looking for fruit in its forested habitat. 

Rusty-Margined Guan by Eurico Zimbres, CC BY-SA 2.5 

Our last species of Guan is P. superciliaris, the Rusty-Margined Guan. Brownish in color, with red eyes and a red dewlap, it is found in dry forests of Brazil, as well as Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia. It isn’t threatened with extinction, as it inhabits both shrubland habitat and tropical lowland forest. They even wander into Rio de Janeiro!
