Extremely popular but harmless animal. Before the colonists arrived, it ate underground worms and small insects. After settling in, people became interested in garbage. Either they eat something from the garbage cans or they take any leftovers to their nests. They communicate with each other with short grunts.
They have a vertical posture. Their average height is 50 cm. They move on thick feet with hooves. Their oblong snout ends with a sharp beak. They only have legs, all manual activities are performed with the beak.
When attacked by larger creatures, they usually run away, while smaller ones attack with their beaks and kickers. Up to 30 individuals are born on one tree in one cycle. A healthy kordu lasts an average of 9 years.

They are easily caught and have often helped exobiologists study life on different planets. Usually they did not mind attached cameras and were willing to be trained to a limited extent. Interesting observations show that the cord is guided by the stars during its nocturnal travels.
