Inaccessible Island Rail (IMAGE)
Caption
The Inaccessible Island Rail, known now as Atlantisia rogersi, needs a name change after researchers linked the tiny bird to a species in South America. The researchers believe the bird made its journey to the South Atlantic island, the only place in the world where this species of rail lives, in a single migration 1.5 million years ago.
