Capercaillie

 

The Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), also known as the Wood Grouse or more specifically Western Capercaillie is the largest member of the grouse family, reaching over 100 cm in length and 4 kg in weight. Found across northern Europe and Asia, it is renowned for its mating display.



Also spelt Capercailzie (the "z" letter representing a yogh) , this species' name is derived from the Gaelic capull coille, meaning "horse of the woods".
