Although scientists have confirmed that a bird called the "cofier keeper" has been extinct 136,000 years ago, it has reappeared in the island where it once lived, but has redeveloped itself, Comoros, Madagascar and Seychelles.

The story goes back to the sinking of the atolls where the birds lived, some 136,000 years ago, resulting in the absence of plants that live on them and feed them as well as animals.

After this period of time, the bird soon returned again, because of the water receding from that coral island in Madagascar, and it lost the ability to fly, where scientists confirm that what happened is known as the evolution of the recurrence, that is, repeat the same strains of birds that were extinct by Without explaining how this happened.

"This is the first time that replicated evolution has seen similar or parallel structures of the same grandfather but at different times in one of the most important breeds of birds," a University of Portsmouth spokesman said.

"When the islands were completely covered by sea water, a large immersion event occurred about 136,000 years ago, killing all animals and plants. The researchers studied fossil evidence 100 years ago, when sea levels dropped during ice Age".

Dr Julian Hume, a paleontologist at the Museum of Natural History, said these unique fossils are compelling evidence that the bird was found on the coral island of Madagascar and has the ability to fly independently.
