Two words you might not have ever heard of frigatebird and gharial. I assure you that these are real words and most importantly, real animals. Both leave near the water. One shouldn't touch it as their feathers aren't waterproof... weird adaptation but okay. And the other can't get its stomach off the ground while on land.
Frigate bird is a bird best known for that red drum that they use to seduce the ladies. However, they spend most of their time in the air... like they spend ALOT of time in the air, nearly 2 months; without landing. Thermals and cumulus clouds are the key.
Gharials are ADORABLE! They are a crocodilian species (you know like crocodiles, alligators and caimans) only they have a weird head that doesn't fit proportionately with the rest of the body. Yet I still love them; even if the males have a growth on the tip of their nose.
Here are the scientific names I attempt to say:
Great Frigatebird: Fregata minor
Magnificent frigatebird: Fregata magnificens
Gharial: Gavialis gangeticus
