The green junglefowl (Gallus varius), also known as Javan junglefowl, forktail or green Javanese junglefowl, is the most distantly related and the first to diverge at least 4 million years ago among the four species of the junglefowl.[2] Hybridization with domestic chicken has also been reported.[2] Green junglefowl is a medium-sized (up to 75 cm long) bird in the pheasant family Phasianidae.
