1. maleo

   The maleo is a type of bird native to Indonesia, specifically to the island of Sulawesi. It belongs to the megapode family. It is notable for its unique breeding behavior, in which it buries its eggs in volcanic sand or soil heated by the sun or geothermal energy, allowing the environment to incubate the eggs instead of the parent. The maleo is recognized by its large size, black and white plumage, and yellow facial skin. They are an endangered species due to habitat loss and egg poaching.
