The Guianan cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola rupicola) is a species of cotinga, a passerine bird from South America. It is about 30 cm (12 in) in length and weighs about 200 to 220 g (7.1 to 7.8 oz). It is about 30 cm (12 in) in length and weighs about 200 to 220 g (7.1 to 7.8 oz).
Distribution and habitat [ edit ] The rockfowl are distributed in West Africa and western Central Africa , in Guinea , Sierra Leone , Liberia , Ivory Coast , Ghana ( white-necked rockfowl ), Nigeria , Cameroon , Equatorial Guinea , Gabon , the Republic of the Congo , and the Central African Republic ( grey-necked rockfowl ).
A. fissuratus is naturally camouflaged in its habitat, making it difficult to spot. [4] When they are found, it is usually due to their pinkish flowers which bloom in October and early November. [4] The flowers develop individually from the youngest areole furrows, so they are almost centrally located.
Similar to the rock wren in habitat, the canyon wren prefers steeper rocky environments, particularly in arid landscapes and deep canyons and terrain (sometimes including buildings, woodpiles, and rock fences). This species regularly uses riparian areas for foraging and has bred away from rocky substrate.
The monjon is a small species of macropod (terrestrial kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, etc) placed in the genus Petrogale (the rock-wallabies). The first published description of the species was in 1978, based on specimens collected and reviewed by D. J. Kitchener and G. Sanson.
Paralabrax is a genus of fishes in the family Serranidae.They are known commonly as rock basses. [3] The nine species in the genus are native to rocky reef habitat in the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic Oceans, where they are often dominant predators in the ecosystem. [3]
In such canopy-dwelling genera as Carpodectes, Cotinga, and Xipholena, males gather high in a single tree or in adjacent trees, but male cocks-of-the-rock, as befits their more terrestrial lives, give their elaborate displays in leks on the ground. [4] The females of both lekking and biparental species are duller than the males.
