Evolution recovers: 15 completely fantastic and completely real birds

Anonim

After you see these whims of nature, any Hollywood monster start to perceive as realistic.

Kiwi

Bird01.
The first one who is remembered with the phrase "Strange Bird". We, though, are accustomed to her in childhood and do not feel bewilderment, looking at a hairy outless and taught schmuck. But if you think about it, then it is really strange!

The birds should have feathers similar to feathers, and wings, even if they run like an ostrich, or swim like penguin! Is not it? And, unlike other birds, the nostrils of Kiwi are not at the base of the beak, but at its tip, the body temperature is like a mammal, but smells of Kiwi mushrooms.

Kiwi. Smells. Mushrooms.

Kvezal

Bird02.
All tropical birds resemble Christmas toys, but some somehow too. Kvezal is one of them. By the way, it is a bird, in honor of which God is named. Not vice versa. It seems a unique case. We are talking about Aztec Ketzalcoatle.

When Cortez destroyed the Great South American Empire, he tried to catch and kill all the crawls to leave Aztecs without their God.

The bird really looks majestically from the point of view of the Indians. On her wings, she has two layers of feathers, and the top, bright, hangs over the bottom, as if the precious imperial cloak. How not to worship!

Golyanny goat

Bird03.
Unlike Kvezl, a meeting with this bird in the dark forest will not be delighted. To put it mildly. He was described for films on Stephen King or for Sesame Street. Oddly enough, the goat people live in South America and also belongs to the tropical birds, so once and forever review their ideas about how tropical birds should look like.

In addition to the strange in the whole appearance, there are something like cuts in the goathouse in the centuries, which is why they are like blinds. Through these cuts, the male looks at the world when sitting on the eggs, so as not to demack itself and the nest with their bright yellow eyes.

The ideal lookout for the rest of the goatoei is considered to be sitting, stretching out the string and taking the chin (or what they have instead there).

Eared owl

Bird04.
Although the Giant Goato is not a relative, but possesses the same super supervision: it can turn into a penneck. If someone is scared. Or in a huge motley ball, if someone needs to be scared. For this on the Internet, it is often referred to as the "co-transformer". Very funny bird.

Vulture parrot

Bird05
Parrots must be cute? No matter how. The creature similar to mutant does not want? Looking at him, you start following the rural population of Brazil to believe in the sorcerer, because it could only appear extremely unnaturally.

The head of the fabulous griffin and a bright parrot body. Red. In combination with black, the red sometimes looks sinister, and this is the very case. And yes, in places it does not grow feathers, so it looks like a lichen. Fu.

Shrike

Bird06.
Previous bird, although it looks sinister, in fact, feeding the berries harmlessly. And our native European Sorokopoute, Ptashka is unbelievable, has a truly villainist. No wonder she is in front of a black bandage, like gangsters in the old movie.

Sorokoputs are known for killing, regardless of whether they are filled or hungry. Just because they can.

They eat everyone who moves: large insects, lizards, mice and other birds. Moreover, the Sorokoputs are one of the few birds using auxiliary items to kill victims. They stick birds and mice on the spikes of plants or stranded wire with a strained wire.

No, this is not the murder yet, because the heart is not always sketched. This is immobilizing the victim. Attaching prey, the Sorokoput begins to eat it or ... leaves for the future, so she herself dies in the torment. Moreover, it is often completely in vain, because the Sorokoputs, as we said, kill more than they can eat. They seem to just like it. BR-R-R.

Malay Kalao

Bird07.
The most famous of the rhino birds. Very big - more than a meter long, but is known not for sizes. The fact is that a huge garbage grows on her forehead. Well, very huge, even surprising how she flies with it and not tumbling. And the attempt is simple: this thief inside is empty.

Looks like a mutation. However, biologists claim that everything that distinguishes us from Amoeba is mutated.

Despite the radical black feathers, in Malaysia is considered a symbol of purity. In addition, the head on the head is considered to be like a helmet, so Malay Calao is associated with the local god of war.

In respect of respect for the symbolic meaning of the bird, it was traditionally killed to let the beak on the decorations.

Krachok-Inca

Bird08.
Just a very cute bird with a mustache. This embodiment of the ideals of the male beauty of those places where the Latin American countries live. Friends with dolphins and seals, only they don't know about it: the paint-incla loves to pick up the fish remains for the warm-blooded inhabitants of the sea. And the shouts of the birds resemble an impatient feline meowing: "Meow, give fish, give!"

Kitrav

Bird09.
He is the royal heron. A huge ugly bird living in East Africa and preferring for lunch is not just a fish, but two-way protoptes. In general, Gourmet.

The beak from Kit-Mare is so big and heavy that when the bird does not hunt, puts him on his chest, so that the neck does not lie. Prefers before the start of the meal to tear the fish head, but not from sadism, but in order not to pepper: it is difficult to hold both the fish, and such a big beak.

So that the eggs and hatching chickens do not be roasted on the African Sun, Kitlahogan drags water in the beak and pours them. In general, it is difficult for him.

LUZONSKY GORLYA

Bird10.
Bird, which looks like a manyak victim. And if it were not for the "bleeding wound" on the chest, there would be a pigeon as a pigeon. Actually, his second name is very prosaic: Krasnogruda chicken. Lives in the Philippines. It is difficult to even imagine what purposes a similar color can serve. Does the type of blood not attract predators?

Cocapa

Bird11
Also known as a clerical parrot, one more flashing New Zealand CMO. Most of all, in the world, loves to pretend to a moss with a lump and very successful in this, despite the size (a little more than half a meter). And, in contrast to other parrots, these - polygamins and are not interested in their chicks. Freaks, no matter.

White Pavlin.

Bird12
Another bird is a template break. No, he is not albino. And no, he does not live near the polar circle. He is just white, his mother, Indian Peacock. Just another tropical bird.

Three-grade rhodes

Bird13.
Latin American migratory bird. Interesting that he has three leather Usa - something like turkey "snot". And one of the mustache is located so that all the time climbs into the mouth. How the rhodere eats - it is not clear.

Since the mustache is designed to attract the attention of the females (during the marriage games they dig and increase), they are, understandable, only in males. We would say that by the meaning in the life of the birds, they are similar to the colorful tail of peacock, but after white peacock, the tongue is not turning.

And the ringing is an incredibly loud voice. During the marriage games, he is unbearable.

Scaly Paradise Bird

Saxo.
There would be a bird like a bird, but it grows incredibly long feathers from her eyebrows, similar to the garlands of flags or on insect mustache. These feathers can be twice as long as the bird itself! Used, of course, to attract females and as a warning signal that the male begins to pair. Interestingly, does the meaning of paradise birds size?

Ecuadorian Golovat

Bird15
The case when the associations take such a Freudian character, which is no longer enough about the size and meaning and about who is shaking than before the female. At the poor males, the head of the neck is growing natural, they will not be afraid of this word, cue, and on the head, what can be taken for the balls to it.

When the male cares for the fellowship, the cue is noticeably inflated.

Just nothing more add.
