This Crested Guan has a wild hair up its cloaca! It went dashing back and forth in front of a trail camera, and we have to ask: Why is this Crested Guan acting so crazy?! If you know why, please let us know in the comments!
This video provides a hilarious look at unexpected animal behavior. It's a great example of the kind of moments a trail camera can capture when no one is around.
About Crested Guans:
They are large, tree-dwelling birds found in Central and South America.
They are easily recognizable by their distinctive crests and loud calls.
They play a key role in seed dispersal.
They are also known as Pava Crestada in Costa Rica.

![The Stick That Nearly Killed Me! Right By My Browning Trail Cam!
📺 Featured by @TheDodo
Whats the most dangerous thing in the Costa Rican jungle? Most people say spiders. Some say big cats. Some say the fer-de-lance. Theyre all wrong.
I was checking one of my best trail camera locations — a spot that had already given me jaguarundi footage earlier this year — when I noticed the lens was completely blocked by a stick. Annoying. I reached down to pull it free.
My brain caught up with my hand just in time.
Inches from my fingers, perfectly camouflaged against the Browning trail camera housing, was a tiny pit viper. Porthidium porrasi. The white-tailed hognosed viper. A baby — and completely invisible until it wasnt.
I had reached into the strike zone of an animal I couldnt even see.
🎥 Filmed in the Costa Rican rainforest using a Browning Trail Camera and an iPhone.

Full Disclosure: Historically, there have been no reported fatalities from a bite of the White-Tail Hognose Viper (Porthidium porrasi).
