A Shoo-in Shoebill Stork
The shoebill stork, also known as the whalebill stork or Balaeniceps rex is in fact not a stork at all, but a long-legged wading bird belonging to the family Pelecaniformes. This species can be found in the central African tropics, from southern Sudan to northern Tanzania. Within this range, they mainly inhabit freshwater swamps and dense marshes, particularly those with deep water large reed beds.
Balaeniceps rex is often referred to as a dinosaur among birds due to its fearsome appearance. The average individual stands 1.1-1.4 m (3.6-4.5 ft) tall and has a wingspan of 2.3 to 2.6 m (7.5 to 8.5 in). However, adults are quite light, weighing only 4 to 7 kg (8.8 to 15.4 lb). Males tend to be larger than females, but otherwise the two sexes look identical. Adults have dark grey plumage with a lighter belly and darker wings. Their most striking feature is their beak, which is extremely large and can be said to resemble a wooden show (hence the name).
The shoebill's beak is very useful for catching its primary prey: fish. B. rex consumes a variety of species, including lungfish, catfish, and tilapia, as well as non-fish items like water snakes, frogs, turtles, mollusks, and even young crocodiles. Shoebills typically stalk their prey, or stand perfectly still and wait for their prey to come to them, before quickly snatching it up and decapitating it with the sharp edges of their beaks. Because of their large size and strong bills, adults are seldom prey for other animals, and they defend their nests fiercely from predators like snakes and other birds.
Outside of the breeding season-- and even during it-- shoebills are extremely territorial. Not only do they chase potential predators away from their nests, both males and females will fiercely defend their territory from other shoebills.
Breeding begins in the dry season, typically in in May, and lasts until about October. Once a male and female form a pair, they remain together for the duration of the mating season. They build a nest from floating vegetation, and 1-3 eggs are cared for by both parents; in addition to being incubated for warmth, one parent may also occasionally pour a beak-full of water over the eggs to keep them cool during the hot summer day. The eggs hatch about 30 days after being laid, and young are fed continuously-- though usually only one chick survives to adulthood. At 125 days old they become fully independent and leave to establish their own territories. The average individual can live up to 35 years in the wild.
Conservation status: The IUCN lists the whalebill stork as Vulnerable. Current wild population estimates sit at about 5,000-8,000 individuals. Primary threats include poaching for the zoo trade and consumption, habitat destruction, and pollution.

My thoughts of the new Minecraft wolf variants!
With the recent announcement of the new wolf variants, I wanted to give my two bits about what real life animal each of the variants are based on! (I study animal ecology so I get excited when animals are depicted in anywhere)
The Pale Wolf, Black Wolf, Snowy Wolf, Ashen Wolf, and Woods Wolf
All of these wolf variants are based on the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus), whether it be the typical Plains Wolf (Canis lupus nubilus), or a different subspecies. The Grey Wolf is the most common wolf species found on the world, typically lives in packs of 4-9 members, and typically has 5 accepted subspecies in the science community - but in total has over 30 subspecies (determining subspecies can be tricky).
Tumblr media
The Pale Wolf is specifically meant to represent a Plains Wolf, as this design has been representing the Grey Wolf in Minecraft for at least 12 years. The Taiga biome is one of the biomes where Grey Wolves can be found, making it a great place to find Pale Wolves in Minecraft.
Tumblr media
The Black Wolf is not a subspecies, but rather a color variant of the Gray Wolf. The black coloring of their coats is not typically caused by melanism, but rather is a normal gene found in Grey Wolves. One of the causes of wolves having a black coat is due to the black gene being linked to higher immunity to canine distemper, meaning the black wolves that survive the virus are able to reproduce and pass on their black genes. Does this mean distemper exists in Minecraft? Probably not, but that's up to your interpretation.
Tumblr media
The Snowy Wolf is based on the Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos). Artic wolves' white coats help them blend into the snow to help them hunt prey, and to hide them from potential predators.
Tumblr media
The Ashen Wolf is likely based on the Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus). The Eurasian wolf can have similar coloring to the plains wolf, but has also been found with greyer coloring along its back, tail, and upper legs and face, and with white on its cheeks, underbelly and lower legs.
Tumblr media
I think that the Woods Wolf is based on the Tibetan/Himalayan Wolf (Canis lupus chanco). It was a challenge to find what subspecies the woods wolf was based on because most wolves don't have the deep brown-orange coloring seen on the woods wolf, but the Tibetan/Himalayan wolf can often be seen with these colorings in the wild.
Tumblr media
The Rusty Wolf
The Rusty Wolf is based on the Dhole (Cuon alpinus), also known as the Asiatic Wild Dog. Dholes have a rich tawny coat with a rich chocolatey tail. Unlike another popular red canine (the dingo), Dholes live in tropic forests, rainforests, and other habitats, making it an appropriate fit to be the jungle dwelling rusty wolf.
Tumblr media
The Spotted Wolf
The Spotted Wolf is based on the African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus), also known as the Painted Dog or the Cape Hunting Dog. This is variant is my favorite of the variants, and is one of my favorite canines of all time. African wild dogs live in savannah and grasslands biomes irl, and have beautiful coats ranging in different patterns of tawny, black, and white. I don't know if this is possible for Minecraft mechanics, but hopefully the spotted wolves will have different coat variants like their irl counterparts.
Tumblr media
The Striped Wolf
The Striped Wolf is based on the Aardwolf (Proteles cristata), which is a species of hyena, making them felids instead of canids! (Yes, hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs). Aardwolves can be found in semi-arid and open plains, making the badlands a good place to find them in-game. Fun fact! Aardwolves mainly eat termites/ants. Hopefully the striped wolf won't starve in a "bugless" game (rip fireflies).
Tumblr media
The Chestnut Wolf
This one frustrates me. I couldn't find a canine or canine adjacent animal that had even a similar coat pattern. This is not a wolf. It is a dog. Probably a Norwegian Elkhound.

Here is my oc creation for the @goldenshrikecomic ! I was thinking about a southern savanna possibility for the world’s comic since I learned red deers lived in the north of Africa, and well I love african wild dogs so I ended up making a Stonekrovn variant ! Then I thought about adding antelopes to the mixt, but it didn’t really gave a satisfying result so I went with okapis instead (aka the cool horse giraffes).
I also made some other stuff for them (despite it not being accurate due to the fact that there is no mention of southern/hot lands) :
- habitat : savannas, oasis, rocky hills or mountains, plains (campsites are preferably in places surrounded by trees with decorations on them such as paints, clay, spider webs or strings also close enough to food for tribe members and halves)
- clothing (?) : bones, skulls, hides/pelts for cold nights, plants, paints, spider webs and collars
- inspiration (again) : red deer, african wild dog and okapi
- appearance : antlers can be black (very common), grey (very common), red, brown, yellow (rare) or white (rare), hooves can be black, grey, brown or pink (rare), eyes can be black (very common), grey (very common), brown (very common), red, orange, yellow or green (rare), the fur can be brown, red, beige or gold (rare) always with black spots and legs with white spots and stripes on the body. Males are the only ones to have a mane on the neck and little horns in front of their antlers, while females will have additional stripes on their backs, butt or tail (the position varies from one individual to another). The antlers are mostly supposed to look like a crown for the rhyme/ressemblance between krovn and crown.
- diet : omnivorous
- size : a bit smaller than a regular Stonekrovn but still quite big for a deer.
Here’s an example with a male (though not perfect) :

Snails — info page 🐌🌿
A snail is a shelled GASTROPOD – large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum mollusca and gastropeda – that includes land snails, sea snails, and freshwater snails. They are typically nocturnal and are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female genitals/reproductive organs.
Tumblr media
🌿Anatomy
A typical shell is calcareous - mostly composed of calcium carbonate - and is coiled into a spiralled pattern (the number of spirals depend on the type of snail).
The body consists of: the visceral lump, mantle, head, foot, and antennae. It is attached to the shell by one (or multiple) columellar muscle.
Visceral lump -> holds excretory, digestive, reproductive, and respiratory systems
Mantle -> for respiratory function and water balance
Head -> has one or two pairs of antennae and a mouth
Foot -> for movement and digging to lay eggs
Antennae -> for orientation and detecting scents
Tumblr media
Diet🌿
A general diet of a snail consists of fruits, such as berries, vegetables like cucumber and lettuce, and leaves, bark, grass, and stems - a good source of calcium is good too!
Snails are omnivorous and also detritivorous, meaning they can feed on decaying waste too.
Tumblr media
🌿Garden Snails
One of, or the most, popular type of snail is the garden snail. Garden snails are a species of land snail in the family HELICIDAE. A typical lifespan is around 2-5 years with diet and habitat needs met.
Their DIET is stems, leaves, lettuce, cucumber, bark, and berries. They can also eat crushed egg shells & other sources of calcium to protect their shells, lay eggs, and help with muscle contraction.
Their HABITAT is usually an undisturbed area with moisture and good water + food supply, like forests, wetlands, old fields, and gardens.
Characteristics:
Thick shell -> 4-5 whorls (spirals) + pale brown, brown, or yellow with dark spiral bands
Mouth -> large with a thickened white lip
Body -> brown-grey colour
As Pets:
- provide correct foods + water supply (a water bowl that isn’t too deep or none at all, spraying water inside the enclosure is fine)
- use dechlorinated water to spray inside their enclosure to keep moist
- wash hands before + after handling to prevent dehydration and possible disease spreading (handling isn’t always recommended/encouraged)
- clean soil/substrate (that has no pesticides) every 1-2 weeks
Tumblr media
Giant African Land Snails🌿
Another well-known type of snail is the Giant African Land Snail. Giant African Land Snails are a species of land snail in the family ACHATINIDAE. This species has been/is considered an invasive species. A typical lifespan is 3-6 years, but can go up to 10~, with diet and habitat needs met.
Their DIET is grass, cress, cucumber, lettuce, and cabbage. They can also eat crushed egg shells & other sources of calcium to protect their shells, lay eggs, and help with muscle contraction.
Their HABITAT is usually agricultural areas, forests, and/or wetlands. They are native to eastern Africa.
Characteristics:
Shell -> large; the size of an average adult fist (full size), it can reach to approx. 20cm in length + 10cm in diameter, brownish + dark vertical stripes
As Pets:
- provide correct foods + water supply (a water bowl that isn’t too deep or none at all, spraying water in the enclosure is fine)
- use dechlorinated water to spray inside their enclosure to keep moist
- wash hands before + after handling to prevent dehydration and possible disease spreading (handling isn’t always recommended/encouraged)
- clean soil/substrate (that has no pesticides) every 1-2 weeks

What canine are the new wolf variants based of?
I am possibly wrong at points and also do not know every canine ever. Also an argument can be made that all of them bar Spotted and Stripped are based of natural variation of Grey wolves (or Coyotes). (But that makes a very dull post so where possible I will be avoiding them.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stripped wolf: Wooded Badlands, Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spotted Wolf: Savanna Plateau, African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Woods Wolf: Snowy Taiga, Culpeo (Lycalopex culpaeus) Arguably too pale a brown.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rusty Wolf: Sparse Jungle, Dhole (Cuon alpinus) (or Ethiopian Wolf (Canis simensis) which looks closer but the habitat is wrong)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chestnut Wolf: Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Side Stripped Jackel (Lupulella adustus) (or Bat Eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Black Wolf, Old Growth Pine Taiga, Grey Wolf (Canis lupus)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ashen Wolf: Snowy Taiga, Grey Wolf (Canis lupus)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Snowy Wolf: Grove, Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos) [Technically a subspecies of the grey wolf]

So Minecraft has new wolves!!
I am very happy about this, but it does make me curious what species each variation is based off of! You too? Awesome!
Tumblr media
Rusty Wolf = Dhole
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seeing a little red jungle wolf took me right back to reading The Jungle Book as a kid, so I pretty much instantly decided they were dholes! A.k.a. Asian wild dogs or red dogs. They're an endangered canid native to Central, South, East and Southeast Asia, and they live in large clans ranging from 12-40 members.
Pale (Original) Wolf & Black Wolf = Grey Wolves
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our familiar friends have probably always been North American grey wolves, just pales ones! Despite their name, this iconic member of the canid family has an incredible amount of variation, and different subspecies of them are scattered all over North America.
Striped Wolf = Aardwolf
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, this is interesting, because they are definitely aardwolves! However, despite their names, aardwolves are actually the tiniest member of the hyaenidae family! Native to East and Southern Africa, they are exclusively insectivores and are known for following aardvarks to use their vacated burrows and foraging grounds. I think it's fascinating that a hyena was chosen for the wolf skins!
Snowy Wolf = Arctic Wolf
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the many subspecies of gray wolves, arctic wolves are native to the Canadian Arctic and Alaska. Thanks to their territory being generally undesirable to humans, they are the only subspecies that can found across the entirety of their original range. Arctic wolves seem the most logical choice for snowy wolves, through there are several other pale-coated northern subspecies they could technically be.
Ashen Wolf = Northwestern Wolf
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of northern subspecies, let's have some fun with the ashen variant. I'm pinning them as the Northwestern wolf, a.k.a. the Mackenzie Valley wolf! Native to, well, the northwestern part of Canada and Alaska, they are arguably the largest subspecies of wolf we know of. They match up pretty well with their Minecraft counterparts both in terms of habitat and possible coloration!
Woods Wolf = Eastern Wolf
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ooo, okay, I went down a rabbit hole with this one! Eastern wolves, a.k.a Great Lakes wolves or Algonquin wolves, are native to the Great Lakes region of North America. They exist in an identification limbo, with no current ruling on whether they are a subspecies of grey wolf, red wolf, or their own unique branch that drifts closer to coyotes on the canid family tree. There is even some debate on whether the Great Lakes and Algonquin variants should be counted as the same subspecies, which I think is fascinating!
Spotted Wolf = African Wild Dog
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The more people who know these good bois exists, the happier I am. African wild dogs, a.k.a. painted dogs or Cape hunting dogs, are the largest wild canine in Africa. They live in packs of 5-30 members and are known their cooperative hunting tactics, using stamina to wear down prey. They're highly social animals, and you'll never find a lone dog.
Chestnut Wolf = Bat Eared Fox
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, initially, I wrote off these guys cause I wasn't counting foxes, but I gave in. The chestnut wolves don't look like much of any existing canines, and nothing that lives in taiga forest. So, bat eared foxes are my best guess. They're small canids native to southern Africa, and are part of the subfamily Otocyoninae, which is a sister family to the families containing true foxes and racoon dogs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of raccoon dogs, they're my second best guess for the origin of the chestnut wolf. Their habitat makes slightly more sense, being from the forests of Japan and east Asia!

Pyrophytes,
plants of fire. plants that Need fire (pyrophiles). disturbance is natural and good, as such so is fire (so are we) (it is about moderation and variation). destroyed patches make a mosaic of complex diversity.
Tumblr media
eucalyptus. Shaggy peeling bark + (toxic) oils = burns burns burns. explodes. but only fire can destroy the resin on their cones, so this is purposeful, they need it.
Tumblr media
gorse. Very flammable. hot and dry (summer or fire) crisps and twists their pods to burst and spread their seeds.
Tumblr media
Cyrtanthus ventricosus fire lily. Blooms right after fire, so it is the only place for pollinators to go, standing alone bright red and flourishing against stark white grey black ash,
Tumblr media
South African aloes with dead succulent leaves to wear as fire-armor.
Tumblr media
longleaf pine that keep their branches safe out of fire’s reach,
and more. And more! Many, actually. Fire can protect these plants from invasives. Fire-maintained habitats of pyrophile plants defend themselves from invasives that get burned. stop the fires and the invasives can come in and wipe out plants therefore biomes therefore So Much, many of which are endangered (longleaf pine savanna at only 3% of its historical range...........)

Animals Poached for the Pet Trade
Tumblr media
Several animals are poached to be sold as pets, including:
Parrots and Parakeets: Due to their vibrant colors and friendly nature, parrots and parakeets are highly sought after as pets. However, this popularity leads to poaching from the wild. African Grey Parrots and Amazon Parrots are particularly targeted due to high demand.
Squirrel Monkeys and Marmosets: These small monkeys are popular pets because of their cute appearance and small size, but their wild populations are declining due to poaching.
Reptiles (Chameleons, Ball Pythons, etc.): Rare reptiles are in high demand as pets, leading to poaching. For example, chameleons from Madagascar and Ball Pythons from Africa are often targeted.
Fennec Foxes: Fennec foxes are popular pets due to their adorable appearance and small size. Unfortunately, they are poached from their natural habitats in the deserts of Africa.
Slow Loris: Known for their big eyes and slow movements, slow lorises are popular pets, leading to poaching in Southeast Asia.
These animals are highly sought after as pets, but many species face declining populations in the wild and are at risk of extinction. To prevent poaching, it’s crucial to verify that any pet animal has been legally acquired before purchase.

~Griffis Supspecies Height Comparison + Info~ ------------------------------------ Just doing this for fun~ I made this so I can use this to design more griffins oc if I want to save time. Also explaining the differences. Not just for these that I show here, also included for other bird species. Of course, I can't filled all in here. Just try and use common senses, if you can.
There's a few things that I explained based in my universe world, so, just want to make that clear.
If the pic is kinda hard to see here, you can view the full and close up image on DA: https://www.deviantart.com/greenmaneheart/art/Griffis-Supspecies-Height-Comparison-Info-in-des-978901373
I will explain more details of what features they had. have fun reading~ ------------------------------------
Very small - HUMMINGBIRD
This also included other small bird species such as kingfisher, kookaburra, cockatiel, parakeet, parrotlet.
They have a certain natural ability based on what bird species they are; kingfisher griffins can catch fish. Kookaburra griffins can make loud and chaotic cry. And more.
Their small size makes it easy for them to fly swiftly or hide in small spaces. ------------------------------------
Medium small - OWL
This included all types of owl species out there.
They can fly without making a slightest sound of their wings flapping while flying.
Their common traits are usually quiet, watchful, sly and deep-thinkers. They seem more active hunting during night time, making them nocturnal creatures.
Owl griffins are considered as the calmest griffin compared to other subspecies griffins.
They are not usually aggressive and only do so when it's necessary like defending their home.
Despite also being considered as a predatory kind, they're pretty calm. ------------------------------------
Medium - MACAW
This included all types of macaw and medium-sized parrots species such as cockatoo, African grey parrot, scarlet macaw, black palm cockatoo and more.
Their habitats are usually in the jungle or rainforest.
Some have the ability to mimic sounds. Their special beak is for macaws, able to crack open any hard nuts easily, without any tools.
Their common traits can come in pretty friendly, intelligent, crafty and creative. They're considered as the smartest and creative subspecies of griffin. ------------------------------------
Large - NORMAL GRIFFIN
A common griffin, half eagle, half lion. However, this also included all types of eagle species, including hawk and falcons. Usually predatory birds.
This type of griffin has the biggest wingspan of all other griffins. A strong flier and the fastest flier than all other griffins.
They are also considered the strongest griffin subspecies.
They are also common subspecies and the most populated compare to other subspecies griffins.
Most of these griffins are very well known to hunt any certain food or animal easily. ------------------------------------
Medium Large - PEAFOWL
Male peacock griffins are usually a bit bigger than female peahen griffins.
However, this size can come from other types of bird such as Lyrebirds and birds of paradise.
Usually the royals are a bit bigger compared to it's average size.
Peafowl griffins are considered as the most beautiful creatures in Griffonia due to their unique pattern and colorful feathers.
Peacock griffin can fly but not as fast as other griffins. Peahen griffin cannot fly properly and can only glide.
Certain peafowl families will wear a certain gem on their forehead to easily identify their close relatives and family. This also to show off their beauty and high quality of themselves.
This has been going for many generations and now considered as their tradition.
Most peafowl are from the royal family. They live in a high ground place called The Proud Tree Kingdom.
They're usually very graceful, elegant, and well mannered. They always try to maintain their appearance to stay clean and beautiful to show that they are more superior than other griffins. ------------------------------------
Very tall and large - OSTRICH
Ostrich griffins are considered as the largest griffin subspecies.
They are also one of the griffins that cannot fly.
Females can have pale, pastel, whitish or brown color feathers, while males have dark coloring feathers.
However, as a normal ostrich would have, they're able to run fast compared to other griffins. Their highest speed limit is almost the same speed as the normal griffin's flying speed.
Most ostrich griffins participated in a racing sport game, and so were considered as professional racers.
These griffins can usually be found in many populations living somewhere in the desert western land, which is where the racing stadium for ostriches is located.

African Forest Elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis)
Habitat & Distribution
Resides only in tropical rainforest
Native to West Africa and the Congo Basin, from Cameroon to the Democratic Republic of Congo
Physical Description
Weight: 4,000–7,000 kg (8,800–15,400 lb) for males, 2,000–4,000 kg (4,400–8,800 lb) for females
Height at shoulder: 2.4–3.0 m (7 ft 10 in – 9 ft 10 in) for males, 1.8–2.4 m (5 ft 11 in – 7 ft 10 in) for females
African forest elephants are grey all over; the skin is thick and wrinkled, especially around the joints
Both males and females have long, straight tusks which usually carry a pink tinge
Behaviour
Females travel in groups of up to 20, dominated by a matriarch, while bulls generally travel alone
Groups and lone bulls meet periodically at muddy watering holes, where they wallow, consume the mineral-rich sediment, and socialize
African forest elephants eat mainly leaves and tree bark, supplemented with fruits
They have few predators aside from humans
Key Advantages
The African forest elephant's sheer size allows it to trample smaller creatures
Adults can use their trunks and long tusks to defend themselves from predators

I’m not sure if this had already been asked but if the guys were willing to adopt a bird as a pet with MC, what kind of bird would they prefer? And how would they react around the birb? 👀
Alexei - African Grey Parrot. He'd take excellent care of it, and would spend a lot of time teaching it words and such.
Brooklyn - Macaw. He would enjoy creating a habitat for it inside his mansion. I could also see him with canaries.
Leo - Budgie(s). They are bffs.
Milo - Green-cheeked conure. Takes the time to bond. A good bird dad.
Rory - Lovebirds. Remember this for the full game. He's very soft for the birbs.
Tobias - Cockatoo. Spends a lot of time with it. Would probably teach it bad words.

Do yu know what other animals were in ancient egypt? I want my oc to have a unique animal and you seem to know a fair amount
Tumblr media
I am a well of ridiculous, hyperspecific, only interesting to some trivia lmao.
I would encourage you not to limit yourself to an entirely unique beast- many deities share sacred animals and are still strong individuals. My mind immediately goes to the huge number of feline deities- lions and lionesses in particular- for an example. Additionally, it's nigh impossible for me (with no academic anthropology/egyptology/historic zoology knowledge) to say for certain that particular animals were present in Kemet when they have no documented deities, mummies, or written mentions. I've had to guess for some, deduce by their present day habitats and more or less "timeline" of their species.
It's also important to keep in mind Kemet had contact with other civilizations in other habitats, meaning they were aware of animals not necessarily native to the area. A perfect example is the Hamadryas baboon- they were Nubian animals, but were sacred to both Thoth and Babi, depicted in art, and many mummies of the species have been recovered. A more surprising example is the Syrian brown bear, which was a rare exotic spectacle for the royal elite. There's also the trouble of many species now being extant from the area, meaning they were there but the local population is now extinct- the African sacred ibis is the example my mind comes to first, the waterfowl no longer present along the Nile.
Coincidentally, I've been compiling a list of animals for my own reference to supply a beast or two for the deities that don't have one in tradition.
