Why it matters
The Sula Megapode, or *Megapodius bernsteinii*, is a ground-dwelling bird endemic to the Banggai and Sula Islands of Indonesia. It is highly regarded by ornithologists for its unique nesting behavior, where it uses solar-heated volcanic soil or decomposing organic matter to incubate its eggs rather than relying on body heat.
