014 - Nuiian Teropita

This social avian can be found in the canopies in the Nuii region of the Kiah rainforests, where it feeds on fruit and nuts in large flocks. Its powerful bill can crack open even the most difficult nuts and rinds. The teropita's long tail makes an excellent rudder during flight, and the claws on its wings are used to grip and climb through branches to reach its food. Unfortunately, the Nuiian teropita has been difficult to find, and may be critically endangered.

Size: 20-30 in / 50-76 cm
