The
maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) is a large megapode and the only member of the
monotypic genus Macrocephalon. The maleo is endemic to the Indonesian island of
Sulawesi. It is found in the tropical lowland and hill forests, but nests in
the open sandy areas, volcanic soils or beaches that are heated by the sun or
geothermal energy for incubation. (There are also megapode species that use
fermenting compost to incubate their eggs.
