Noble megapode : ウィキペディア英語版 | Noble megapode
The noble megapode (''Megavitiornis altirostris''), also known as the deep-billed megapode, is an extinct, flightless, giant megapode that was endemic to Fiji. It is likely that it became extinct through overhunting shortly after the colonisation of the Fiji Islands by humans.〔 ==Etymology== The genus is monotypic, with the generic name ''Megavitiornis'' derived from the Greek ''mega'' (great), ''viti'' (Fiji), and ''ornis'' (bird). The specific epithet ''altirostris'' comes from Latin ''altus'' (high or noble), and ''rostrum'' (bill), referring to the extraordinarily large vertical dimension of its bill. Worthy also suggested “Noble Megapode” would be an appropriate vernacular name for the bird.
