About These Birds
Giant Coot
Giant Coot (Fulica gigantea) is a 60–65 cm massive coot of Andean high-altitude lakes in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. All-black plumage with red and yellow frontal shield. Largely flightless; relies on water for escape. Builds enormous floating nests. Feeds mainly on aquatic vegetation.
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.
