Yesterday I learned that only 3% of bird species have penises (thanks @Radiolab)
Ducks, geese, swans, and large flightless birds like ostriches & emus have penises, while species such as owls, eagles and flamingos have completely lost their penises over time!

Completed! Commission for @ChancetheLugia What a fun design for a Lugia. Flightless, no back fins... Looks like a bunch of 3-year-olds went to town on her with sunset colors. Heehee..
The Moa was a large flightless bird that lived in New Zealand as recently as 1500 AD. It stood 3.6 metres tall, making it the tallest bird ever!

Today really is the day for revisiting and redrawing characters!
Meet Aeterni <3 My Infinite Dragon bab. She got lost in time during the rise of her flight, and is now lost in current Azeroth. Flightless, clueless and scared

Casuarius bennetti, dwarf cassowary. Watercolour by John Keulemans (1842–1912) commissioned by Lord Rothschild c.1900 and drawn from a live specimen at his menagerie @NHM_Tring. Rothschild was fascinated with the giant flightless bird, collecting and studying them #JanuaryBlues

Monster of the Day
Chickcharney
Possibly based on a now extinct flightless barn owl, the Chickcharney of Andros Island in the Bahamas, is a 1m tall flightless birdlike creature.
The cryptid has extremely long legs with 3 toes

Happy #WorldSeabirdDay!
Today commemorates the #extinction of the #GreatAuk (Pinguinus impennis), a large flightless #seabird in the #alcid family that lived in the North Atlantic and was hunted to extinction in 1844. Let's #celebrate, #conserve and #protect our extant seabirds!
