In the sun-warmed forests and wooded hills of the Indian subcontinent, these gentle frugivores drift through the canopy with unhurried grace. They feast on figs and ripe forest fruits, selecting the softest offerings and swallowing them whole before gliding silently onward. What makes them extraordinary is their quiet work as forest gardeners — carrying seeds across wide ranges and depositing them in hidden clearings where new trees can take root. A soft wash of green and gold among leaves, yet devoted architects of tropical woodlands.
