About Giant Antpitta (Grallaria gigantea)

• Kingdom: Animals
• Phylum: Chordates
• Class: Birds
• Order: Perching Birds
• Family: Antpittas

The giant antpitta is a perching bird species in the antpitta family (Grallariidae). Rare and somewhat enigmatic, it is known only from Colombia and Ecuador. It is presumably a close relative of the similar undulated antpitta, G. squamigera, which occurs to the south of G. gigantea. The giant antpitta has three subspecies, one of which might be extinct.
