Fowl are birds belonging to 1 of 2 biological orders, namely the landfowl (Galliformes) and the waterfowl (Anseriformes). Anatomical and molecular similarities suggest these 2 groups are close evolutionary relatives; together, they form the fowl clade which is scientifically known as Galloanserae (initially termed Galloanseri). This clade is also supported by morphological and DNA sequence data as well as retrotransposon presence/absence data.
This category is for animals that are fowl.
