Gorilla or Crow? It’s Got the Internet Amazed

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.

Do you see it?

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.

The gorilla crow

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.

Disturbing!

The idea that such a creature could exist…. Say it with me – creepy!

Anatomical representations

Perhaps such a creature would look like this under the features/fur?

The stuff of nightmares…

…Or perhaps an idea for the next sci-fi film?

People were amazed

That strange looking crow obviously freaked out a lot of people – like this.

People did not like the gorilla crow

Some thought the creature looked ominous and threatening others didn’t like it, well just because.

This interpretation

This artist tries to explain their interpretation of the creature – and gives it hideous creature scary red eyes for good measure.

More creepy ideas

Ugh! How not to have nightmares – that is the question.

But how?

This is what occurred to me as well – where are the crow's feet? How is he balancing on his wings like that?

The explanation

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.

Not propping itself on its wings

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.
