Largest bird in the world (1/2)
Running late for work? Want to avoid traffic while zooming past all the exasperated drivers on the highway? Tzin's Animal Crackers™ has the perfect solution: become an ostrich! The largest living bird in the planet might be flightless, but they sure can reach top speeds of 70 km/h (43.5 mph)!! You can comfortable arrive to your destination with your feathers hardly ruffled from the sprint! Make your order now!

I was very happy to see the updated (and expanded!!!) list of species in FA, featuring, among various more, none other than the largest extant species in our planet!! The majestic ostrich!! Which receives little to no love in this site: a tragedy on its own. So after chatting with

It was supposed to be just a single scene of Tzin as an ostrich, but I really liked the poses I sketched out from the beginning, and I decided to keep them and turn them into a three part TF sequence... which then became an even longer five-parter, because I was not going to miss my chance to draw a obese ostrich. I mean, such an alliteration allures any artists... aaaanyway!
Today I learned: Ostriches do not burry their head in the sand. This myth likely originated from the position they adopt when they are cleaning their feathers, with their head tucked under their wings. Another possible origin is the pose they keep when they are taking care of their young. But they certainly do not stick their beaks into the sand. So, please stop using "birdbrained" as an insult. Birds are smart.
