Notes | Dende are huge aquatic birds, similar to loons or mergansers, but unable to fly or walk. They have broad bodies, long necks, stubby wings used as paddles, and short legs at the rear of their bodies to propel them forward. Their tails are stumpy. Their feathers are a dark blue that shines in the sunlight when they are dry, and nearly all are comparatively short for their body size. They feed mostly on floating vegetable matter and weeds in shallow water, but supplement their diet with small fish and crustaceans. Few wild dende live on the Oslira River, for the Dendeninni people use most of them as boats; no one else has the knack of working with the huge birds. An adult dende is large enough to carry several people, a horse and a couple of people, or a pile of cargo, hence their common name. Dende swim away from most predators. When panicked, they dive and wait until their attacker has left. -Glorantha.com |
