Why it matters
The red-knobbed coot is named for the two distinctive, bright red fleshy lobes located atop its frontal shield, which become particularly prominent during the breeding season. Known for its broad wings and rounded tail, this species holds cultural and ecological significance as a waterbird native to parts of Africa and the Iberian Peninsula, where it thrives in freshwater wetlands.
