Creature Awaits #239

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

We're back after a two-week hiatus for Christmas and New Year's! Hope you all had a beautiful Holiday!! Happy New Year!!

The Blue Crane

A.K.A: The Stanley Crane, The Paradise Crane

Scientific Name: Grus paradisea

Region: Primarily South Africa, with a smaller population in Namibia

Size: About 3'3"-3'11" (~100cm-120cm) tall, with a 5'11"-6'7" (~180cm-200cm) wingspan

Interesting Notes: This elegant bird - the national bird of South Africa - holds an important place culturally amongst both the Xhosa and Zulu. The bird's picturesque plumes are worn in the hair and headdresses of both peoples. The Xhosa decorate those considered "Men of Trouble" with these feathers to signify them being tasked with keeping peace among their people, while the Zulu use them to honor noble warriors and kings.

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:

#rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #no but really #I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats #like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti??#yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners?#donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead #raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers-#but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS?#and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human-#but her crane license is where it’s really at #(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE)#honorable mentions in this regard go moments like #donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise #or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight #and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT #Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd #Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just #basically they’re all so capable????#and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments #love them sm

I designed a splendid garden home for Leif!

Let's pretend there's also a lovely veggie garden and orchard behind the house.

Since this is Leif, I wanted to bring the garden inside, as well.

This was probably the coziest bedroom I've designed, so far.

I'm definitely not feeling emotional about gaining Leif's approval.

Gabimaru is kinda Crane Wives isn't he?

"I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel it's all that I can give to you my dear"

He would totally say that to Yui

"Ashes Ashes Dust to Dust the Devil's after both of us"

This could be both him with Yui or him with Sagiri the devil being literal in both

I made a remote island hideaway for Redd!

The ground floor is Redd's warehouse where he stores and prepares completely authentic, certainly not fake artwork for shipping to his best suckers customers.

Upstairs is Redd's cozy living space with a balcony overlooking the ocean. He's an accomplished painter and would never consider passing his own work off as someone else's.

Unrelated, if the paint on the Mona Lisa he sold you looks wet, it's just the humidity.
