Spotted
The Giant Antshrike is the largest and most imposing member of the antbird family, with a powerful hooked bill and a robust body. It is found in the dense undergrowth of subtropical forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and vine tangles in subtropical and temperate forests, particularly in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, guttural 'wok' or 'chuk' calls. Patience is key, as it remains hidden in dense cover. Watch for subtle movements in the undergrowth or follow the sound of rustling leaves as it forages.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Can be found throughout the day, but is generally very shy.

This formidable antshrike uses its large, hooked bill to tear apart dead leaves and bark, searching for large insects and even small vertebrates.
