About These Birds
Saint Helena Crake
Saint Helena Crake (Laterallus podarces) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Saint Helena island in the South Atlantic. Known only from subfossil bones. Extirpated following settlement in 1502 when introduced rats, cats, and pigs destroyed its population.

Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.
