The Capercaillie, also known as Western capercaillie or Tetrao urogallus, is a large game bird that inhabits mountainous regions and coniferous forests. Belonging to the Phasianidae family, it has two subspecies in France: Tetrao urogallus major in the Vosges and Jura regions, and Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus in the Pyrenees. This iconic species is associated with wooded and remote areas, preferring dense forests at high altitudes. Its impressive size and distinctive plumage make it a commonly observed bird during wildlife expeditions in mountainous regions.
