	Unexplained Research - Calayan Rail
		A Calayan Rail is held after its discovery by Filipino and British wildlife researchers on the tiny forested island of Calayan in the northern Philippines, in this undated image made available by the expedition.
		During a May expedition to Calayan, about 320 miles north of Manila, a team member was walking in the forest when she saw a small group of unfamiliar dark brown birds with distinctive orange-red bills and legs, the British conservation group BirdLife International said in a press release Tuesday.
		"The Calayan rail is a relative of the internationally familiar moorhen, with bright red beak and legs contrasting sharply with its dark plumage," BirdLife said in a statement.

	Remarkable rail discovered "just in time"
		Exactly one hundred years after the last visit by an ornithologist, a team of bird, mammal, reptile and amphibian specialists arrived in May this year on the island of Calayan, one of the Babuyan Islands in the northernmost part of the Philippines archipelago.
		They had the support of the Mayor of Calayan, who wants the island and its surrounding waters to be made a protected area.
		The rail appears to be restricted to forests on coralline limestone areas, which probably make up less than half the island’s surface, and the extent of their suitable habitat is likely to be much less than 100 km², and could be smaller than 10 km².

		Calayan’s endorser for this particular laser treatment is veteran actress Evangeline Pascual who undergoes the procedure at her lower abdomen twice a week.

	Forest and Bird Media Release
		Ornithologists on an expedition to the Calayan Island in the Babuyan Islands in the Philippines have discovered a rare near-flightless rail, related to New Zealand's weka.
		The Calayan rail only occurs in an area less than 100 square kilometres and may even be restricted to an area of less than 10km.
		Calayan has suffered neither excessive logging nor hunting, and a local bylaw forbids timber being shipped off the island.

		According to him, the process involves using transfer syringes to suck the fats and setting aside these syringes to allow for the separation of fats and liquids, after which the fats are injected into the part for augmentation.
		Fats to be transferred should come from the same person, Dr. Calayan emphasized, or these would be rejected by the body which would detect a mismatch.
		Calayan says doing both procedures take about one and a half hours to two hours and then the patient can go home.

		They say the Calayan rail is flightless "or nearly so": it belongs to a global family including coots and moorhens.
		On 11 May one of the team, Carmela Espanola, was walking in the forest almost 1,000 feet (300 m) up the slopes of Calayan when she spotted a small group of unfamiliar dark brown birds with distinctive orange-red bills and legs near a stream.
		In order to register the rail as a new species the expedition had to kill one bird, and when they dissected it they found its flight muscles were too weak to carry it far, prompting their conclusion that it is "almost" flightless.

		Her extensive experience in bird watching, gained from her volunteer stint in conservation projects in Panay and as a co-founder of the Wild bird Club of the Philippines, enabled her to identify the rail as a possibly new bird species.
		Allen’s subsequent findings in UK further validated that the rail is indeed new to science and is endemic to Calayan island, meaning that it exists only on this island an nowhere else in the Philippines and in the world.
		The Calayan Rail is related to the Barrel rail or the “tikling,” a common sight in rice paddies.
