When we initially glanced at this bird, we didn’t see anything out of the norm. However, we became aware of its feet and chose to exhibit them to you.

A coot is a medium-sized bird that looks like a cross between a hen and a duck. It is a duck that spends the most of its time swimming.

There are many different kinds of coots, including Eurasian, American, Andean, and even Hawaiian coots. They have minor variances, but one thing stays constant: their feet.
