Systematik: Gattung Tympanuchus (Tympanuchus); Unterfamilie Tetraoninae (Tetraoninae); Familie Phasianidae (Phasianidae)Allgemein:
The greater prairie chicken or pinnated grouse (Tympanuchus cupido), sometimes called a boomer,[2] is a large bird in the grouse family. This North American species was once abundant, but has become extremely rare and extirpated over much of its range due to habitat loss.[2] Conservation measures are underway to ensure the sustainability of existing small populations. One of the most famous aspects of these creatures is the mating ritual called booming.
