Edwards's pheasant  (Lophura edwardsi)

Endemic: A species or taxonomic group that is only found in one particular country or geographic area.
Hybridisation: Cross-breeding between two different species or subspecies.
Inbreeding: The breeding of closely related individuals. An inbred population usually has less genetic variability and this is generally disadvantageous for its long-term survival and success.
Primary forest: Forest that has remained undisturbed for a long time and has reached a mature condition.
Subspecies: A population usually restricted to a geographical area that differs from other populations of the same species, but not to the extent of being classified as a separate species.
Wattle: Bare fleshy skin that hangs from the bill, throat or eye of birds.
