The Aramus Guarauna, also known as the Limpkin, is a medium-sized wetland bird that belongs to the family Aramidae. It is the only extant species within the genus Aramus and its family. The bird is recognized by its long legs, neck, and slightly curved bill, enabling it to forage for its primary diet of apple snails. Limpkins are largely nocturnal and found predominantly in the Americas, particularly in Florida and the Caribbean. Known for their loud and haunting calls, their population status typically varies by region due to habitat loss and fluctuations in food availability.
