Mauritius Turtle-Dove
Nesoenas cicur
The Mauritian turtle dove (Nesoenas cicur) is an extinct species of the pigeon genus Nesoenas which was endemic to Mauritius. The holotype is a right tarsometatarsus collected in 2008 in southeastern Mauritius. It became extinct around 1730 because of overhunting, predation by introduced rats, and the deforestation of the island.
