A large South American bird with spurs on its wings, related to ducks and geese; also called the horned screamer.
From Portuguese 'anhuma,' which derives from Tupi indigenous language 'anhỹ ma' meaning 'old devil bird.' The term traveled from South American indigenous peoples to Portuguese colonizers to English naturalists.
The anhima has a terrifying horn-like projection and can make a sound so loud it travels for miles across the wetlands—imagine a bird that looks like a cross between a duck and a dragon and screams like a broken car alarm!
