Description

Wtf is that?

Technically, it's a bird. Technically. If you're willing to believe that. But it must be the weirdest bird on the list. Oh, and it's not me messing the proportions up, it's just built like a sack of bricks.

Looks like it might feed on your nightmares, but it actually eats leaves. Not something birds usually do. And to break leaves down more efficiently, hoatzin ferments them in its gut. Like a cow.

Before they are able to fly, babies have dinosaur claws on their wings. To climb trees with. When a predator approaches, they leave the nest and either hide in the trees or drop down into the water. Yes, they can also swim. And when all is good again, they just climb back into the nest. I was under the impression that, typically, baby birds just kind of scream a lot while they're being eaten. But these go through an entire obstacle course to survive. Respect.

Also, because of their digestive process, these birds smell like shit. Literally. According to eyewitness s, at least. Or were these nosewitness s? I know, I know, I'll see myself out.

Time: 7h30m
