The Iranian Toothed Bird was a strange carcass discovered near Meshginshahr in Iran.
Appearance[]
The creature, which was first reported by IRNA, possessed a long snout (or beak), feathers, and what appear to be two bird-like legs.
Possible Explanations[]
There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:
- An undiscovered species (a Cryptid)
- Hoax. The 'bird' skull seems mammalian, suggesting a taxidermy.
Trivia[]
- It is currently unknown what the composition of the creature's bones are, or how it could be held aloft if the head were made of the more dense heavy skull material of most land-based creatures.
- As officials continued their investigation, they found that the creature was recently alive. Villagers told stories of the creature living in a cave just outside the village where it would be seen walking.
