Okinawa is home to many rare animals and plants.
One of them is a bird called Okinawa rail.
Instead of losing their ability to fly, they gained the tough leg strength to run quickly on land. Currently, it is registered as an endangered species and efforts are being made to protect it.
With these legs, you can easily run up trees over 20 meters,
You will climb the 5m cliff in no time.
It is said that the activity is held during the day,
Young individuals go out and play at night.
Their greatest natural enemies are cars driven by humans.
In other words, don't overspeed when driving in Okinawa :)
