The Milamo Bird
A bird not unlike a crane in form, albeit significantly larger, the milamo feeds on massive worms the size of inner-tubes that live deeper in the mud than any other bird can reach. Using its massive, long beak to create a hole, it plunges its head and neck down as far as its shoulders in order to reach its favorite food, and yanks the worms up to the surface with all its strength. The typical result of this great effort is that the worm whips around once pulled from the mud, striking the milamo about the eye, which for uncertain reasons causes the bird to laugh. The holes created by this activity are considered a great hazard to men and horses alike, who may easily injure themselves when a leg falls through.
