In the rain-soaked canopies of eastern Australia and New Guinea, these gentle giants move through fruiting trees with unhurried grace. They feed on large figs and soft fruits, swallowing them whole with deep, resonant calls echoing through the forest. What makes them extraordinary is their role as heavyweight seed carriers — dispersing large seeds across vast distances, they help regenerate rainforest trees that few other animals can manage. Calm and dignified in presence, yet indispensable architects of the canopy.
