The bare-faced curassow (Crax fasciolata) is a special type of bird. It's known for its unique face, which doesn't have feathers around its beak and eyes. This bird belongs to a family called Cracidae. This family also includes other cool birds like chachalacas and guans.

You can find the bare-faced curassow in several parts of South America. They live in eastern and southern Brazil, Paraguay, and eastern Bolivia. You might also spot them in the very northeast of Argentina and in the large Amazon Basin. These birds prefer forests and woodlands where they can find food and shelter.
