White-throated rail bird that died 136,000 years ago came back from death

Scientists studying wildlife on the island of Aldabra Atoll, in the Indian Ocean, claim to have discovered a small species of bird that evolved after its disappearance there are 136,000 years Independent. The white-throated rail, which is a flightless bird, has undergone an extremely rare process called "iterative evolution" in which it repeats the evolution. The rail had previously evolved to become unable to fly before turning off for the first time. Bird species have evolved again, according to scientists, after comparing fossils of extinct species with those recently discovered on the island. The white-throated rail is about the size of a chicken and migrated to the origin of Madagascar when the species could fly.
