Spotted
The Alaotra Grebe was a small, flightless grebe endemic to Lake Alaotra and surrounding wetlands in Madagascar. Tragically, it was declared extinct in 2010 due to habitat degradation, predation by introduced fish, and entanglement in fishing nets. Its loss highlights the vulnerability of highly specialized species.
