Why it matters
The Western Capercaillie is the largest member of the grouse family and is culturally significant as a symbol of the deep, old-growth forests of Eurasia. Its distinct, fanned tail and rounded wings play a central role in the elaborate, ritualized mating displays that have fascinated naturalists for centuries.
