The flightless guineafowl, Pseudostruthio gularis, is a large, flightless, wingless guineafowl from the tropical grasslands of Africa, descended from the helmeted guineafowl.

Although it can deal a lethal blow with its broad feet in common with most plains-dwelling animals it runs off when real danger threatens.
Mating occurs in the early summer and normally results in one or two eggs being laid 5 or 6 weeks later. The incubation is shared by both males and females.
