The Acre antshrike (Thamnophilus divisorius) is a small bird. It belongs to the antbird family, known as Thamnophilidae. This bird is closely related to the streak-backed antshrike and the Amazonian antshrike.
Scientists first found the Acre antshrike in 1996. It was discovered in the highlands of Acre in Brazil. In 2004, it was officially described as a new species to science.
About the Acre Antshrike
The Acre antshrike lives in areas with low-growing woodland. This means it prefers forests with shorter trees and bushes. It is known to live in the remote Serra do Divisor National Park in Brazil. It also lives in the nearby Sierra del Divisor National Park in Peru.
Where Does it Live?
The main area where this bird lives is within these two national parks. Even though its known range is somewhat small, scientists believe it is common there. This means there are many Acre antshrikes in these parks.
Is it Endangered?
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) checks on the health of animal populations. They have listed the Acre antshrike as a species of least concern. This means it is not currently in danger of disappearing. Its population seems stable, even with its limited living area.
