"Have you considered their natural predators?"
```
Gary Smith pointed at a group of metal-feathered flying birds, resembling golden birds with sharp blade-like wings, preying on sucking woodworms in an ecological record video.
```
They are called Golden-winged Woodpeckers, a type of pet beast born within the metal ecology, fond of darting through various trees to catch wood-spirit insects for food.
```
They fly through the jungle, capturing sucking woodworms from Musu Ma to consume, often pecking pockmarked holes in trees, leaving most trees with no option but a one-way dead end.
And they perch on the backs of horses to defecate, dropping feces resembling metallic particles that entangle within the root tendrils of Musu Ma.
As the Musu Ma moves, the droppings are shaken off, falling amongst the grass and trees.
