Chestnut-breasted mangrove rail is a medium-sized bird from the rail family. It lives in dense mangrove forests in northern Australia and southern New Guinea, where it hides well among roots and leaves.
Chestnut-breasted mangrove rail differs from other rails with its bright chestnut breast coloration and strong attachment to mangrove thickets. It helps maintain balance in these forests by eating crabs and insects.
