Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
uh, you must be recovering from yesterdays bout... i've got questions about this little guy, like, uh how'd he get his silly name?
ReplyDeleteThanks pal, I was short an o. Still an odd name. They are similiar to a flamingo in their coloring so maybe that is the "rose" part. Can she be our derby mascot?
