Marquesan cuckoo-dove : ウィキペディア英語版 | Marquesas cuckoo-dove
The Marquesas cuckoo-dove (''Macropygia heana''), also referred to as the Marquesan cuckoo-dove, is an extinct species of bird in the pigeon family. It was endemic to the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. It was described from subfossil bones recovered from the Hane archaeological site on the island of Ua Huka. The cuckoo-dove was a relatively large species, with long legs; its limb proportions suggesting a more terrestrial lifestyle than its congeners. Extinction occurred not long after, and probably as a consequence of, colonisation of the islands by Polynesians. ==References==
