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.

Resembles Common Moorhen but smaller, with yellow bill tipped red and duller frontal shield. Secretive; skulks in dense reed beds and floating vegetation mats.
