I was watching the national geographic channel the other night and they were talking about this strange bird that lived within the rocks of a forming island, basically a volcano in the middle of the ocean. The program said conditions on this half molten, half solidified rock were quite violent, and terrestrial life here was almost non-existent, yet plopping along the black rock were these strange little white birds with long necks. I think I just liked how out of place they looked. Of course the actual bird doesn’t have that third leg.
