There are so many new pieces of information in here - thank you for collecting and sharing this information with us! Thanks also for the opportunity to talk about such an interesting dinosaur as the Hoatzin!
I really didn't notice an odor around them, assume it is probably high in methane like a cow, but not sure. I got pretty close, wonder if tou have to like actually have one in hand to get a good idea of the "stink" Thanks for watching JJ
Thank you for this educative and dynamic video, JJ and Steve! It's fascinating how modern avians are descendants of the derived therapod lineage! The wing morphology of the hoatzin is analogous to the extinct archaeopteryx, and the flight style of the two are similar in the sense that they aren't very maneuverable or well oriented flyers.
I can see that, both don't have the strongest flight muscles, and have a bunch of extra weight, archaeopteryx with a teeth and tail, and the Hoatzin with their giant leaf filled crop, that gets in the way of their flight muscles and forced a reduction in the keel. thanks so much for watching, JJ
This is, without a doubt, one of the best wildlife videos I’ve seen in years and my new favorite on your channel. Every aspect was fantastic, your completely unique and engaging storytelling, the expertly explained scientific information, the beautiful animations and editing, and of course, some absolutely stunning footage. You have completely outdone yourself JJ, and I will be catching up on your whole Amazon series shortly. Hoatzins are such fascinating birds, they have long been one of my favorites and seeing them in the wild is a dream of mine. I learned a staggering amount from this video, I knew that the indigenous peoples of the Amazon were incredible but I truly didn’t understand the scope of their work and knowledge. We should all do well to learn from them. Thank you for this JJ, it was amazing! Harrison p.s. If anyone tries to argue that evolution isn’t real or peddles any pseudoscientific nonsense, I’m gonna blow my stack
Thank you so much, I think this was the video in this series I was most excited to do as it had a more interesting concept than scary ants, and fun to talk about birds, caiman, and dinosaurs, and I have long wanted to talk about avian anatomy through the lens of therapod anatomy. A note, I had to wade through some garbage researching this video, apparently people try to use the highly derived air sacks and birds as evidence they did not evolve from dinosaurs, but figured I was going to run into a little weirdness, especially when looking up "dinosaur" cryptids, I ended up just saying I need to stop going down the rabbit whole when it led to lizard people. -JJ
I just learned that the Mokele-Mbembe exists! Well, sort of. Not in the way that most would expect. It’s a fish: a bichir from the Congo River (Polypterus mokelembembe).

It was great to work with you on this and the biodiversity video. -jj
Great video. That was really interesting! Is it weird that I really want to know what a stink bird smells like?

Phenomenal video! The Hoatzin is such an incredible bird. I learned a lot from this video! Super great work! Keep it up!
Thank you, hoatzin are really interesting birds, fun to go and chase them and exciting to pit together a video on them
Btw interesting content & nice presentation ,earned a subscriber.

You are going to get picked up by tge algorithm
A smile and a little truth mixed together with a huge lie and people will believe anything.
Where timestamp of dinosaur lol?
