NTU Researchers identify extinct Ice Age peacock species
Posted on 2026-06-13 15:07:29
NTU researchers have identified an extinct Ice Age peacock species previously
endemic to Taiwan, filling a long-standing gap in the island's bird fossil
record.

The university said the findings are based on a well-preserved humerus fossil
donated by a fossil collector.

The researchers concluded the fossil belonged to a previously unknown
Taiwan-endemic bird species during the Pleistocene era.

They named it "Pavo miejue."

The species was larger than the Mikado pheasant, Taiwan's largest extant
endemic bird.

The researchers said Pavo miejue is the first extinct Pleistocene bird
species identified in Taiwan. The name means "extinct peacock" ... and it was
chosen to draw public attention to past extinction events.

The discovery extends the known range of the peacock and its relatives into
East Asia.
