Why it matters
The cuckoo-roller (*Leptosomus discolor*) is the sole member of its own taxonomic family, making it a unique evolutionary puzzle found only in Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. Ornithologists prize this species for its distinct morphology, characterized by broad wings and a rounded tail that set it apart from both cuckoos and rollers despite its name.
