Though not really flightless, these birds are often thought to be because they stay mainly on the ground, scurrying away from predators. Name these small denizens of South America.

Tinamous are partridge- and quail-like, but are a different species. With a limited flight capability, they choose mostly to run rather than to take to the air. They're found mostly in the forest, but are also sometimes seen in open fields. There are 47 species of Tinamou found in Central and South America.
