Fulica cristata
uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Garden Route and Addo Elephant National Park are among the 18 atlas places where the Red-knobbed Coot is recorded. Its records concentrate most heavily in South Africa, Spain, and Kenya, with about 176,000 open records across 11 countries. This map follows where those records gather.
Because this bird is recorded in both hemispheres, the active seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Red-knobbed Coot as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
