About These Birds
Andean Coot
Andean Coot (Fulica ardesiaca) is a 38–43 cm coot of Andean high-altitude wetlands in Peru, Bolivia, and northern Chile, typically above 3,000 m. Dark slaty-grey with white bill and frontal shield, often with yellow-orange shield in breeding season. Inhabits puna lakes and bofedales. Feeds on aquatic plants.
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.
