About These Birds
New Guinea Flightless Rail
New Guinea Flightless Rail (Megacrex inepta) is a large 38–45 cm flightless rail endemic to lowland New Guinea. Dark brown; robust legs; greatly reduced wings. Inhabits dense forest floor, often near swampy areas and stream margins in lowland rainforest. Poorly known; rarely observed despite relatively large size.
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.
