Its name is Macrocephalon maleo, usually known as the Maleo Bird or Maleo
Senkawor. The maleo bird is endemic of Sulawesi Island. However, they can also be found in
Maluku.
Maleo birds are predominantly black in color with yellow to brown eyes, orange beak and
white on their underside. Male and Female birds are similar in color. It's just that female birds
are smaller and darker.
Maleo do not incubate their eggs. They bury the eggs in the sand that has natural geothermal
heat. One of the reasons they do so is probably because the size of the egg is much larger than
the size of their body. One maleo egg is estimated to be the same size as 5 chicken eggs. Due to
the size of the egg, a female sometimes passes out when laying.
Maleo belong to protected birds, but the population are endangered to the continuous loss of
habitat, illegal logging and the opening of new land for settlement. In addition, they are also
threatened by the poaching done by the local people, the natural predators such as lizard and
snakes, floods, or forest and bush fires.

a. The size of the eggs is too big for them
b. The number of the eggs is too many
c. They have a fight with the males
d. They can’t stand the heat
3. Which of the following paragraphs tells the physical description of the birds?
a. 1st b. 2nd c. 3rd d. 4th

Manta rays are fish. They are the largest member of the ray family. They have a
flat, disc-shaped body with two huge “wings” and a long, spiny tail.
When they swim, manta rays flap their huge “wings”, which are actually pectoral fins, up
and down, like a bird. This movement propels the fish through the water. The manta ray
moves easily through the water at any speed.
Manta rays live in the warmer areas of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
They are unusual members of the ray family as they are the only rays to live and feed on
the surface of the open sea. Sometimes, they rest quietly on the seabed.
Mature manta rays usually travel alone. They cruise around feeding mainly on tiny
plankton and shrimps.
When a manta ray’s wingspan reaches about four meters, it is mature and can
breed. Most fish species lay eggs which hatch in the water. However, manta rays bear
live young and the female produces one at a time. The wingspan of a baby manta at birth
can reach over one meter!
