Feature
Details
The Alagosian Curassow (Mitu mitu) is a relatively large black bird.
The Alagoan helmet-billed pheasant was described in the early 17th century, but was not reported until 1951, when it was rediscovered in Alagoas, northeastern Brazil. The last known record of this species in the wild comes from an old specimen that was killed by hunters in 1984, with unconfirmed hunting reports in 1987 and 1988. It is therefore considered extinct in the wild.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Extinction in the Wild (EW).
