The Madagascan snipe breeds in marshes, swamps, muddy areas, flooded fields and sometimes ricefields. It builds a saucer-shaped nest of dry grass in the drier areas of its breeding wetland. The nest is concealed in a dense tuft of grass or sedges. Breeding occurs from at least July to January. This bird has a spectacular aerial display, which involves flying high in circles, followed by a powerful stoop during which the bird makes a drumming sound, caused by vibrations of modified outer tail feathers. The Madagascan snipe forages by pushing its long bill deep into the mud seeking invertebrates, such as insects and worms, seeds and plants. If alarmed, it freezes, and its cryptic plumage provides effective camouflage when the bird stands motionless amongst marsh vegetation. When flushed, it flies off with a zigzagging action. -->

Es un ave robusta, mide unos 30 cm de largo y sus patas son relativamente cortas para ser una zancuda. Sus partes inferiores, cabeza y cuello están ralladas y estampadas con franjas marrones oscuras anchas y bordes dorados formando líneas en su espalda. Su vientre es blanco, con algunas rayas marrones en los laterales pero nunca en el vientre. Su pico negruzco es muy largo, recto y bastante robusto. Sus patas son amarillo-oliva a verde-grisáceo. Ambos sexos son similares, los ejemplares inmaduros solo se diferencias por tener franjas ante en las plumas cuberteras.
