Has anyone ever stopped to think where roosters and hens actually come from? It turns out that these domesticated fowl are actually related to a bird known as the Red junglefowl, originating in South East Asia. Noted for their steady supply of eggs and palatable meat, it is said that they first started to domesticate the junglefowl in India, as far back as 3200 BC: and if we go back even further—and I mean a lot further—we discover that the Red Junglefowl is…the closest living ancestor to the Tyrannosaurus–Rex!
