Grey Junglefowl - a photo on Flickriver

Grey Junglefowl

            Clicked at the Tholpetty Wildlife Sanctuary in Wayanad district, which is barely 130 kilometers from my home. Rich in bio-diversity, the sanctuary is an integral part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, which has been established with the specific objective of conserving the biological heritage of the region. The Grey Junglefowl, often referred to as Sonnerat's Junglefowl, is one of the wild ancestors of domestic fowl together with the Red Junglefowl and other Junglefowls. An interesting tidbit is that a gene from this Junglefowl is responsible for the yellow pigment in the legs and different body parts of all the domesticated chicken. This species is endemic to India, and even today it is found mainly in peninsular India.
