That's the best shot of something really rare and not totally obvious as to where it is


That's cool how it's only the neck and part of the upper chest with the shadow under it

it's cool because people can't see their neck, only the part the camera was pointed at (usually their face)

It's sad this species will be eradicated in the wild due to living in Africa with all the proto-hominids starving from no usaid

This bird looks very scary. I'd probably freak out if I saw it like this IRL.

Why do they always look so pissed off? What is their fucking problem?

It's mainly a matter of how we perceive their supraorbital ridge, those sunshade structures above their eyes that gives them that "scowling eyebrow" look when viewed from certain angles, especially from the front.

We, with our expressive, moving eyebrows, interpret it as an emotional display or mood indicator, a function it does not have.

It's a problem we have with other Animals as well, that don't use facial articulation to communicate moods or emotions. To us, a Dolphin will seem to be happy and smiling, even if it is very upset or angry, whereas a Vulture will seem to be forever angry or upset, even when it's as happy as can be.

Whats the most amount of money you've spent on a pair of shoes? Once bought a pair of German hiking boots in excess of 200 euro buckets.

It has eyes of a predator. Most creatures with eyes like that are venomous and/or want to feast on your flesh. But this one doesn't. What's up with that?

Their imposing nature means they have little to worry about, hence why they're chill.

You can thank the increase of feral cats and raccoon populations wiping out birds due to retards giving them free food.
