About These Birds

Tahiti Rail

Tahiti Rail (Hypotaenidia pacifica). Extinct. Small rail formerly endemic to Tahiti and Mehetia, Society Islands, French Polynesia. Known from 18th-century descriptions and illustrations by Forster during Cook's voyages. Extinct by c. 1800, likely due to introduced rats and hunting.

Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery.
