It is one weird crow in Japan that caught everyone's attention and amazed them. The crow's exceedingly strange way of sitting made people think of a gorilla and soon amazed netizens were offering their own opinions about it all.
It is a weirdly perched crow that looks like a gorilla's head; complete with that characteristic tuft atop the head. This really seemed to freak people out.
Some helpfully conceptualised what such a creature would look like – with the head of a gorilla and the body of crow. Creep you out yet? Me too.
The idea that such a creature could exist…. Say it with me – creepy!
Perhaps such a creature would look like this under the features/fur?
…Or perhaps an idea for the next sci-fi film?
That strange looking crow obviously freaked out a lot of people – like this.
Some thought the creature looked ominous and threatening others didn’t like it, well just because.
This artist tries to explain their interpretation of the creature – and gives it hideous creature scary red eyes for good measure.
Ugh! How not to have nightmares – that is the question.
This is what occurred to me as well – where are the crow's feet? How is he balancing on his wings like that?
This PhD in ‘crow death behaviors’ (apparently this legit, there is a blue tick next to the name and everything!) had an explanation. Apparently this is a large billed crow. But that still doesn’t explain that weird standing on his wings trick.
The expert went to explain that it wasn’t a crow without legs; such a creature could not fly. It was just the angle of that created the illusion of missing legs. As for getting the image of the hideous hybrid crow-gorilla creature out of my head… that’ll take longer.
