Art/Literary - Archaeology / Mexico, Maya, Quintana Roo | | Spanish term or phrase: danto | Sobre una península de la laguna “Om” o del Aguacate, la traza del núcleo se definió en tres grupos principales de estilo Petén (p. &&), llamados Danto, Jaguares y Saraguatos.
per DRAE: Pájaro de unos tres decímetros de longitud, de plumaje negro azulado y pecho rojizo y sin plumas, pero con un cordoncillo carnoso. Tiene un copete o penacho que se prolonga hasta la extremidad del pico. Vive en las selvas oscuras y su voz parece un mugido débil.
But it also says it might be a tapir. Does anyone know the name of the bird in English, and are there any opinions about whether this is referring to a bird rather than a tapir? Saraguato, for the record, is a howler monkey. |

| | Baird's Tapir | Explanation:
Yo creo que se refiere al tapir. Danto es un nombre común tambien empleado.
http://www.vianica.com/animals/mamiferos/tapir/365
Y mirando la flora y fauna de méxico, yo diría que se refieren a este mamífero utilizando la variante de nombre común y no al pájaro al que hace referencia la RAE.
Es solo mi opinión y quizás ande totalmente desencaminada.
¡Suerte! |
