Bintel




Bintel, an  extinct species ( i'm not sure if i can refer to the kind as a particular species for not many of them hatched.)  are diver storks and had a lizard for an uncle .They were found towards the eastern parts of India specifically near Calcutta . Their wings spans were measured to be 6 and 1/2 ft spread across , thiers wings include barbs made up of scales . they live primarily on fish but turned into scavengers during food shortage ( a very strange eating phenomenon unnoticed previously and till date ) . These birds were partially blind , hence depended on their eerie shirks for directions .
