The aquatic bird: Gallinuela de Santo Tomás In the Ciénaga de Zapata, to the north of the wooded territory known as Santo Tomás, approximately 1.5 km from the highlands, the Gallinuela de Santo Tomás (Cyanolimnas cerverai) is located. Its common name in English is Zapata rail. It is a riverbank water bird, about 300 mm long. It has a thick body and its tail is short with white feathers at the back. It inhabits only in the grasslands of the swamp and generally takes refuge in the so-called "clumps", which are groups of plants made up of the grass grass. It has been one of the most difficult birds to observe due to its elusive behavior and because it uses this inhospitable habitat. La Gallinuela de Santo Tomás is exclusive to that town. Due to its limited distribution, the small size of its population and its fragile ecosystem, exposed to fires during the dry season, the status of this species is critical. #Naturaleza
