Thought to be extinct, rediscovered after 140 years!

The Black-naped Pheasant-Pigeon (Otidiphaps insularis) is a rare bird species found in the rainforests of New Guinea, specifically on the island of Fergusson in the D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago. It is notable for its striking black nape and its pheasant-like appearance, with a long tail and robust body. The bird is terrestrial, meaning it spends most of its time on the forest floor, searching for seeds, fruits, and small invertebrates. Due to its limited range and the ongoing habitat loss in its region, the Black-naped Pheasant-Pigeon is considered a vulnerable species.
