The great bustard, Otis tarda, is one of the largest flying birds, with a wingspread of up to 2.4 m (8 ft), and it weighs as much as 14.5 kg (32 lb). Formerly it ranged over a large part of Europe, but it has been overhunted and is becoming rare. A powerful but slow flyer, it rarely takes wing and prefers to run from danger. They are stocky birds with long necks, heavy bills, and long, powerful legs with the rear toe absent. The plumage is brown to gray, often with darker bars or spots. A large pouch that opens under the tongue and extends down the front of the neck may be for courtship display.
