The Hawaiian rail was a small flightless bird that lived only on the island of Hawaii. The bird had dark plumage, short wings, and strong legs for running on the ground.
The Hawaiian rail differed from related species by the complete absence of flight ability and living only on one island. It helped maintain balance in nature by eating insects, but went extinct after rats and cats appeared on the islands.
