A large black vulture found in Central and South America that feeds on carrion and plays an important role in cleaning up dead animals.
From Spanish 'gallinazo', derived from 'gallina' (chicken), because the bird was thought to resemble a large chicken; the -azo suffix is a Spanish diminutive/augmentative ending that evolved to mean 'a big one of something'.
The gallinazo's scientific name, Coragyps atratus, means 'raven-like vulture,' and unlike other vultures, it hunts using smell rather than sight—it's one of the few birds with a powerful sense of smell comparable to a bloodhound's.
