he Greater Prairie Chicken is a stocky chestnut, firmly banished grouse with paler shaded stripes, most effectively perceived by the male's particular and strikingly great appearance. Amongst the male's presentation, an unmistakable, stretched pinnae (adjusted neck quills) get to be raised over the head, and a substantial yellow-orange air sacs in the neck or greater the eye get to be swelled. Both genders have these noticeable neck quills yet they are longer on the males. The genders can also be recognized by the short, square tail being dull chestnut in males and a banned cocoa and tan in females.
Habitat
The Greater Prairie Chicken is threatened by habitat loss and loss of genetic variance resulting from the isolation of populations. …show more content…
The Greater Prairie Chickens also eat horse feed and the seeds and leaves of many different prairie plants. Greater Prairie chickens are known to travel a few miles between their field perches and bolstering grounds; flying out to forage before sunrise, coming back to their perches for a significant portion of the day, then sustaining again for an hour or two leading up till dusk.

The Greater Prairie-Chicken's unique living space was in the tallgrass prairies of Midwestern North America. During the 1880’s, the species had spread into Canadian prairie regions since it provided the perfect living space and had existed there for around 50 years: some shortgrass living space of the Canadian prairies turned out to be strikingly similar to tallgrass living space on account of the fortuitous event of a couple wet years, horticultural settlement, fire concealment and the vanishing of the buffalo (from chasing). The Greater Prairie-Chicken got to be plenteous there and eventually spread to Ontario. As concentrated agrarian practices assumed control on the prairies, be that as it may, the environment changed once again, and the Greater Prairie-Chicken slowly started to vanish. By the 1930s the species was on the verge of extinction. The Greater Prairie-Chicken now only survives in just a few scattered regions throughout the Midwestern United
