About These Birds
Mascarene Coot
Mascarene Coot (Fulica newtonii) is an extinct giant coot formerly inhabiting Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Larger than Eurasian Coot; likely flightless or near-flightless. Extirpated by hunting and introduced predators in the 17th–18th centuries. Known from subfossil remains and written accounts by early European visitors.
Red-and-white Crake
Red-and-white Crake (Laterallus leucopyrrhus) is a small 15–17 cm crake of south-eastern South America. Bright chestnut-red above; white below with black-and-white barred flanks. Inhabits dense grassy marshes, reed beds, and wet grasslands in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Skulks in dense cover; detected by sharp calls.
