Coenocorypha miratropica

Coenocorypha miratropica

An extinct snipe from Fiji, Coenocorypha miratropica is a remarkable record of the New Zealand snipe genus from a tropical Pacific island. A carnivorous wading bird, its presence in Fiji suggests that the Coenocorypha lineage once extended well beyond New Zealand across the southwest Pacific before extinction from introduced predators and habitat loss.
