Our planet has plenty of room
left to explore, and judging by the tens of thousands of new animal
species discovered each year, who knows what exotic and bizarre
creatures are waiting for us out there?
Each year, between 15,000 and 18,000 new
animal species are being discovered all around the globe and are
classified using the latest DNA tests. As it happens, extinct or even
unknown creatures are still being found on Earth. So what happens when
the legendary becomes the ordinary, or better said: what happens when
creatures believed to be extinct come into the picture?
North American indigenous people often
sculpted totems, told tales and also sang about the great Thunderbirds.
These legendary creatures were depicted as large birds, capable of
creating thunderstorms with the beating of their enormous wings that
measured no less than 20 feet.
