The Tristram's Woodpecker (Dryocopus javensis richardsi), a type of woodpecker, is called the 'Klak-klak bird' in North Korea based on its vocalization. Regardless of sex, the body length is approximately 46 centimeters, making it one of the largest birds in Korea. Males have red coloring on the crown and distinctive markings beside the beak, while females have black coloring. The belly is white with shiny black on other areas. The beak is yellowish-green with only the tip black. Nests are constructed in holes created on ancient trees or in self-excavated cavities. The Tristram's Woodpecker (Dryocopus javensis richardsi), an endangered rare bird species, is designated and protected as a natural monument due to its high biogeographic and taxonomic value.
