Medium ground dove, 25–28 cm, with brown upperparts, a large blood-red breast spot, and pale underparts. Endemic to Mindoro in the Philippines. Inhabits dense lowland primary forest. Terrestrial frugivore. Endangered due to severe deforestation reducing Mindoro's forest cover.
Felsentaube
Die Felsentaube ist die Stammform aller Haustaubenrassen und einer der häufigsten Vögel in Städten weltweit. Tauben dienten dem Menschen als Boten, Nahrungsquelle und Forschungsobjekt – ihre Orientierungsfähigkeit und ihr Sehvermögen wurden ausgiebig erforscht. Darwins Studien zur Taubenzucht trugen wesentlich zu seiner Evolutionstheorie bei.
