Baby pictures of Pag-asa, the first Philippine eagle born and bred in captivity.

His hatching on January 15, 1992 was a culmination of over a decade of research by the Philippine Eagle Foundation. He was named the Tagalog word for “hope” as a symbol for the survival of his critically endangered species.

I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.

I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

Thinking about how Klingons have the “Bird-of-Prey” warship and Romulans have “Falcon class” ships as well as the “Warbird” model and it just got me thinking that Star Trek aliens might be as obsessed with their raptors as we are with ours. So I made this weird niche comparison to various raptor species and now I can’t see crested caracaras the same way

Cerrit is based on a real bird!

This is the Philippine Eagle, official bird of the Philippines. Note the prominent crown of feathers!

Apparently they are the largest eagle by length and wingspan (which might explain why Cerrit is so tall).

Also, look at this guy and tell me that they don't give off a cloak-and-dagger vibe.

@queermentaldisaster

wanted to look at birds then remembered Farah from your shifter au so...

*ahem* I did this at 4am :)

they need a minimum of 9,880 acers (15.5 miles) to thrive

they only lay about one(1) egg every 2 years after the reach maturity (5-7 years). they also mate for life, unless their partner is killed :(

they're one of the largest eagle in the world, second only to the Steller's Sea-Eagle

they are critically endagered with an estimated amount of only 400-ish pairs in the world.

they eat a number of different animals including monkeys, civets (medium sized nocturnal mamals) as well as snakes, bats, squirrels, and more! when they hunt with their mated pair they will often have one distract the prey while the other one swoops in from behind to attack it.

they can reach speeds up to 100km/h (sounds cooler than 62m/h)

their wingspan is about 5-7 feet long

the Philippine eagle foundation says their eyesight is 8x better than ours

one of the big problems, aside from deforestation, that contributes to their endangerment is shooting, mostly because with the shrinking forsts they are forced to hunt closer and closer to humans' domesticated animals, and so they are shot down to save the livestock.
