| Aanvullende informatie |
The mountain chicken is neither a mountain dweller nor a bird — it is Leptodactylus fallax, a giant frog native to Dominica and Montserrat, so named because its legs were historically compared to chicken in flavour. Once hunted extensively as a food source, it is now critically endangered, with the wild population estimated at fewer than 100 individuals following the double devastation of chytridiomycosis fungal disease and the 2010 Montserrat volcanic activity.
