Rare Critters Meme
Stolen from aztec_jaguaress :
If you are a Furry you have a char that represents you. This char has a species.
Now take this species and look up the "animal family" or similar animals.
Example: - fox -> vulpes (vulpines)
Pick up a rare animal in that group of animals. A not common animal! So if you are a fox do not introduce the redfox. Introduce a not so common fox like the culpeo fox or hoary fox.
If you are a cat- do not introduce a tiger introduce a sandcat or clouded leopard or the better an irimote cat.
You see there are a lot of animals that are rare not not common. ( I hope everyone got what I want)
So I start:
Hi! What's the name and species of your char?
Laken SteelJaw, Common Raven (Corvus corax)
If you are an hybrid which part will you go for?
N/A
What is a rare or uncommon animal of that species?
The Thick-Billed Raven (Corvus crassirostris)
Oh cool. Now post some pictures of it! (add a video if you like)
And a video for your viewing pleasure (complete with bizarre call): Thick Billed Raven on the Internet Bird Collection
Wow! So now tell us something about it! (you're allowed to copy and paste that)
(Copy-Pasted from Wikipedia)
The Thick-billed Raven (Corvus crassirostris), a Corvid from the Horn of Africa, shares with the Common Raven the distinction of being the largest in the family (60-64 cm in length and 1.5 kg) and indeed the largest of the bird order Passeriformes (perching birds). It has a very large bill that is laterally compressed and is deeply curved in profile giving the bird a very distinctive appearance. This bill is black with a white tip and has deep nasal grooves with only light nasal bristle covers.
It has very short feathers on the head, throat and neck which on the throat and upper breast, have an oily brown gloss. The rest of the bird is glossy black except for a distinctive white patch of short feathers on the nape and onto the neck.
Good! Can you tell us anything special about this animal
Thick Billed Ravens are mainly scavengers, and feed from carcasses, as well as human refuse, insects and even dung. Apparently they have a special technique to scatter dung and uncover grubs to eat (source: Wikipedia).
So that was fun and you may have learned something new.
Who do you tag? ( at least 3 people)
