About These Birds
Red-knobbed Coot
Red-knobbed Coot (Fulica cristata) is a 38–44 cm Afrotropical and Iberian coot. Resembles Eurasian Coot but has two red knobs at the top of the white frontal shield in breeding plumage. Inhabits freshwater lakes and marshes across sub-Saharan Africa and Spain/Morocco. Feeds on aquatic plants and invertebrates by diving. Vulnerable in Europe.
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.
