## Species Aligned With Cuban Son & Trova

- [Resplendent Quetzal](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/resplendent-quetzal/) (*Pharomachrus mocinno*)
  - **Musical Match**: Buena Vista Social Club, "Chan Chan"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Chan Chan turns one four-chord loop on the tres for its whole length, the way a male quetzal holds his territory: two hollow whistled notes, one rising steeply and one falling, repeated every eight to ten minutes.
  - **Superpower**: Iridescent Tail Plumes up to 90 cm & Laurel Seed Dispersal
- [Timber Rattlesnake](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/timber-rattlesnake/) (*Crotalus horridus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Buena Vista Social Club, "El Cuarto de Tula"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A timber rattlesnake's rattle is a string of loose keratin segments that knock together into a rapid, crisp buzz. Maracas work the same way, hard seeds rattling inside a shell, and on Buena Vista Social Club's El Cuarto de Tula their shake runs under the whole song.
  - **Superpower**: Heat-sensing pits between nostril and eye that detect very slight changes in temperature
