This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms.
The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.
You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

| Comments | 學名：Arborophila crudigularis 英名：Formosan Hill Partridge (Taiwan Partridge) Family: Phasianidae (雉科), Length: 22~25cm. 深山竹雞，為台灣特有種。分布於印度北部、緬甸北部、中南半島北部高地、中國大陸西南部高地、海南島、蘇門答臘等，因不遠飛，移動力低，長久以來在各地方演化為特有種。 深山竹雞因其腳脛呈紅色，所以又名紅腳竹雞。牠們分布於全島各地中、低海拔山區，雖名竹雞，卻和生長於山麓至低山區一帶的竹雞不同屬。牠們常喜歡棲息於茂密的雜木林，生性隱密，每當晨昏時發出一連串嘹亮鳴聲，類似「咕、咕…吊咕－吊咕－」。以昆蟲或植物嫩芽、草籽為食，營巢於草叢間，在地上作為淺凹巢。 One of endemic species of Taiwan!!!! The Taiwan Partridge (Arborophila crudigularis), also called Taiwan Hill Partridge, is a species of bird in the Phasianidae family. It is found only in Taiwan. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Endemic species of Taiwan |
