Bushryraus junglius
Evolved from T. jumpus they wandered to zone C to find more nest space and lack of competition. Their back feathers grew wider to attract mates more effectively and to look intimidating to potential predators like D. katharagnathus.
Found in zone C, they get up to 1.5 feet long. They feed on R. subaquatica, R. occisorostrus, D. ruchuis, J. alepouvola, J. clavocauda, D. major and D. gripus.
They developed pattern of their scales with many spots in order to camouflage in the dense vegetation. Their colors range from all types of greens with their feathers are green, with males having iridescent blue crest feathers while females are fully pale green. They hunt by ambushing their slashing them until its dead which they then feed on it. For flying prey, they jump as high as they could to the air to catch their prey. When provoked by a predator they flare all their feathers including the large ones at the back to make itself look bigger and scare of the opposing threat. They live solitary lives where they establish territory. They will show off their feathers to intimidate rivals. If neither rival is intimidated by the they will wrestle using their arms, but avoiding using their claws, until one gets tired and flees.
When breeding males would clean an area of land (1 meter diameter) during winter and attract a female with its bright feathers. Once a female comes it will display its feathers by flaring and jump as high as it can to show its strength and good genes. If the female accepts the males mating ritual they would then mate and the female would run off. The female will then lay her eggs in her nest that she will build out of sticks and bones (mostly sticks) on top of M. nayobus trees (so D. major can't eat the 5cm long eggs) before she lay her eggs the next 2 days. A female can lay to 2-7 eggs but only 2-5 surviving due to predation by D. katharagnathus.. Once the egg hatch in spring the female would take care of the young for about 1 year until they grew into young adults.The female would teach her younglings how to hunt when they are sub-adult and then chase them off the nest when they are old enough.
