Not only is this the only member of the genus Cariama, it is one of only two members of the family Cariamidae with the other being Black-legged Seriema. They are pretty huge birds standing at close to three feet high. We had them just walking around our Pousada in the southern Pantanal in Brazil. They were wild birds but they are encouraged in farms because they help keep predators away from poultry.
