Why it matters
The Tanimbar Megapode is an island endemic that relies on its rounded wings and short tail to navigate the dense forest understory of the Tanimbar archipelago. Unlike many other birds, megapodes do not incubate their eggs with body heat; instead, they bury them in mounds of soil and decaying vegetation, allowing natural fermentation and geothermal heat to manage the incubation process.
