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.
Galapagos Rail
Galápagos Rail (Laterallus spilonota) is a small 15–17 cm flightless or near-flightless rail endemic to highland vegetation zones of several Galápagos islands. Dark brown above with white spots; grey below with barred flanks. Inhabits dense ferns, mosses, and Miconia scrub in humid highlands.
