About These Birds
Tahiti Rail
Tahiti Rail (Hypotaenidia pacifica). Extinct. Small rail formerly endemic to Tahiti and Mehetia, Society Islands, French Polynesia. Known from 18th-century descriptions and illustrations by Forster during Cook's voyages. Extinct by c. 1800, likely due to introduced rats and hunting.
Marquesan Swamphen
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.
