omg...well my superpowers should be wisely used, today for example they are already sleeping :D but will get them back soon, don't worry ;D
omg you're so mean ;D
Hey mister crazy biologist, would you add your fascinating Longhorns to my mission? http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/28509009 I'd be more than pleased ;D
you are like steve irwin but better? :D
Oh now I see, that is when you had to leave your palm prints in Hollywood :D no I know why you look so familiar! :P So dr. Dolittle was actually written based on the true character :D ha ha ha
Haha of course at least it was alive until the time came and migrated with its friends :). I had it for some weeks and had many people coming to see the bird so I became famous :). The stork learnt how to fly so it was flying with other storks and come back home.
you were teaching a stork how to fly :D ha ha ha Is that bird still alive? :D ha ha ha Oh yes, I know those longhorns, I'm seeing them quite often, but they are much smaller and they are flying like crazy, they won't need me for my precious lessons :D ha ha ha http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/25170111
Hahaha I did that when I was teaching a white stork how to fly:). Check this beetle, we need that one as a pet as well: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/30481171
I think I would be a good teacher, I would encourage it and teach it how to fly ;D we would start from the 3rd floor :D
Coool :)))) I'd like to have it for a pet!
It did climb to my finger and it was almost as big as my finger but didn't fly.
well I like them especially if they are shining :D but can't believe is that big! did you touch it? is it flying?
Actually it doesn't look nice in the photo but when i saw it i was amazed. It's about 10 cm long together with antennae.
