<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="fulica-montanei"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Fulica montanei — an extinct giant coot from the Atacama Desert, Chile. Flightless giant adapted to high-altitude Andean lakes; larger than all living coot species. Island-like geographic isolation in the Andes promoted gigantism. Went extinct in the Holocene; possibly hunted by indigenous Andea.
