Why it matters
The Udzungwa partridge is a remarkable example of an evolutionary surprise, as it was only discovered by science in the early 1990s within the isolated forests of Tanzania. Distinguished by its rounded wings and short tail, this elusive ground-dweller is prized by ornithologists for its unique genetics, which suggest it is more closely related to Asian hill partridges than to other African species.
