The Micronesian Scrubfowl (Megapodius laperouse) is a large and medium-sized bird with two subspecies.
Micronesian megapods are omnivorous and eat a wide variety of foods on the forest floor. Shy and mysterious, but can perch in small trees and fly short distances, not long distances. Good long race, fast speed is difficult to catch up.
By 2000, it was estimated that only 2,000-2,500 Micronesian megapods survived. It is found on undisturbed islands in Palau and the Northern Mariana Islands. A small number of Micronesian megapods have been reported to have returned to Saipan since 2010.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Endangered (EN).
