It is widely believed that domestic chickens are descendants of the
red junglefowl (RJF) as firstly indicated by Darwin [1] in the comparisons of morphology and production among Gallus species.
The protected flora and fauna features water fern, the
red junglefowl and greater coucal.

Genetic characterization of
Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), Thai indigenous chicken (Gallus domesticus), and two commercial lines using selective functional genes compared to microsatellite markers.
Modern chickens are descended primarily from the
red junglefowl. Members of Chicken Coop are tackling analysis of the diet of ancient chickens, using chemical isotopes in their bones and egg shells, to reveal the resources available to the humans who kept them.
Kondo, "One subspecies of the
red junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus) suffices as the matriarchic ancestor of all domestic breeds," Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, vol.
The
red junglefowl (order Galliformes) is referred as the ancestor bird of local poultry (Darwin, 1875).
Researchers studied
red junglefowl (the wild ancestor of the domestic chicken) in a collaborative project with the University of Oxford, Stockholm University and Linkoping University.
Bird Density in Lotus Swamp: The results showed that Scaly-breasted Munia - Lonchura punctulata (31.52 +- 4.75 birds/ha),
Red Junglefowl - Gallus gallus (11.88 +- 4.86 birds/ha), Pied Fantail - Rhipidura javanica (7.85 +- 2.73 birds/ha), Eurasian Tree Sparrow - Passer montanus (3.51 +- 1.75 birds/ha) and Blue-tailed Bee-eater - Merops philippinus (3.01 +- 0.68 birds/ha) were the five most dominant bird species in this habitat.
While
Red Junglefowl accounted for nearly half of the deaths ( 10 out of 21) in the Bird category, two monitor lizards and three tortoises were lost in the reptile category.
