<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="coua-berthae"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Coua berthae is an extinct coua (Cuculidae) known from Quaternary subfossil deposits of southwestern Madagascar. Slightly larger than the extant giant coua (C. gigas), it was a ground-dwelling insectivore and frugivore in Madagascar's dry deciduous forests. Its extinction followed human settlement of Madagascar approximately 2,000 years ago, likely driven by hunting and habitat burning. Named for an early Malagasy natural history contributor, it is part of Madagascar's vanished megafauna.
Diet & Feeding
Coua berthae primarily fed on insects and other small invertebrates. Insectivorous dinosaurs were typically small-bodied and agile, with adaptations suited for catching small prey.
