The forest pitta is a small predatory bird that lives in the lowland forests of New Guinea. It is known for its loud clicking sounds used for communication and hunting.
The forest pitta differs from related species by its distinctive loud clicking voice, audible from afar. It helps maintain balance in the forest by eating harmful insects.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
