Scientific name Amazilia castaneiventris, foreign name Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird, specific habits are unknown.
The chestnut-bellied hummingbird is too small for its skeleton to be preserved as a fossil, and its evolutionary history remains a mystery. Most hummingbirds live in Central and South America, where fossils of hummingbirds dating back 1 million years have been found, so scientists believe that hummingbirds originated from the Pleistocene. However, scientists in southern Germany have found the world's oldest hummingbird fossils, dating back more than 30 million years, suggesting that hummingbirds' ancestors appeared as far back as the Oligocene epoch.
