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.
Tristan Moorhen
Tristan Moorhen (Gallinula nesiotis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. Dark sooty-brown with reduced wings and stout legs. Related to Common Moorhen but island-adapted. Extirpated by introduced rats and cats by the 19th century. Known from subfossil remains and early expedition accounts.
