Kangkok dan turako (Cuckoos & Turacos)
Guinea Turaco
Tauraco persa
- tidak umum
- 35 km/h
- Risiko rendah
West Africa's classic forest turaco. Moves through canopy in small groups, bounding branch to branch, rarely flying far.
- Populasi
- Number of mature individuals not quantified; the population trend is decreasing (suspected), with tree-cover loss of ~12.8% across its mapped range over three generations likely driving a 1-19% population decline over the same period — the species remains Least Concern because of its extremely large range, not because the population is stable
- Habitat
- Subtropical/tropical moist lowland forest, gallery forest, and forest edges near cultivation, from sea level to about 1,100 m elevation
- Fakta menarik
- The Guinea (Green) Turaco has crimson flight feathers that are normally hidden but flash into view when the bird takes off, colored by turacin, a rare copper-based porphyrin pigment unique to turacos (unlike the carotenoid-based red seen in most other birds); captive turacos of this genus can live to around 30 years, though wild longevity is poorly documented.
- Sebaran
- West and Central Africa; resident across 19 countries/territories from Senegal/Guinea east to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and south to Angola, with an extent of occurrence of roughly 5.35 million km2 (range counts vary up to ~22-23 countries depending on how the range edge is counted)
