#viral #video #wildlife #fact #life #unknown #subscribe #spectacular The Cuban ivory-billed woodpecker was one of the largest woodpecker species in the world, growing up to 20 inches (50 cm) in length and weighing up to 1.5 pounds (700 g).
The species had distinctive white and black plumage, with a prominent ivory-colored bill that was used to excavate nests in dead trees.
The Cuban ivory-billed woodpecker was once found throughout Cuba and possibly other Caribbean islands, but habitat loss and hunting likely contributed to its extinction.
The species was a keystone species in its ecosystem, playing an important role in excavating cavities used by various other bird species.
Although there have been occasional unconfirmed sightings of the Cuban ivory-billed woodpecker in recent years, it is widely considered to be extinct.
