In the shadowed forests and rocky cliffs of sub-Saharan Africa, this soft-hued fruit eater glides between canopy and crag with measured calm. It feeds on figs, berries, and wild olives, selecting ripe fruit before swallowing it whole. What makes it extraordinary is its quiet work as a long-distance seed carrier — moving between forests, gorges, and mountain slopes, it helps regenerate trees where few others venture. Subtle in color yet steadfast in purpose, a gentle gardener of Africa’s high woods.
