Do you believe that there is really a phoenix in the world? On September 20, 2022, a man in Guangdong found a dark creature by the river, struggling on the water.
Seeing that the creature was about to drown, the man didn't care so much and quickly rescued it. After fishing ashore, he realized that the creature looked particularly strange, with an overall shape similar to a bird, but it looked like a "snake head and fish tail".
And whenever someone approaches, it will open its bloody mouth and make strange screams, which is particularly intimidating. In order to understand the truth, the man immediately posted a photo of the creature online, which quickly aroused the interest of netizens. Some netizens even said that this was a special "dark phoenix".
Isn’t the phoenix a legendary creature? Does it really exist? What exactly will this thing be?
I believe everyone knows that the phoenix is just a fictional "divine bird" in my country's legend and does not really exist. But in everyone's mind, I must be very clear about the phoenix's shape.
It has a chicken head, snake neck, swallow's forehead, and turtle back, but its most obvious feature is its colorful colors and long tail, which is an extremely beautiful bird.
However, the strange creature was covered in black all over, so how could it be related to the phoenix?
It turns out that in some folk legends, there are many aliens among the phoenixes, such as the "black phoenix" whose feathers are all black. Therefore, many people believe that the creature that fell into the water might be the chick of this black phoenix.
Phoenix has not yet been confirmed to exist. Will there be a "dark phoenix"?
Indeed, in some reports, there have been a lot of news about the appearance of "dark phoenixes". For example, in 2016, in a rural area in Heilongjiang Province, a villager accidentally took a photo of a "black bird".
The old farmer also wanted to have fun, and posted the photo online, which caused an uproar. Everyone thought that judging from the shape of this bird, it should be a phoenix.
As for the whole body being pitch black, it may be a rare "dark phoenix". Subsequently, relevant experts boldly speculated that the photo might be the last living phoenix left in the world.
However, no one responded to the final truth of this incident. And after this time, people have never seen the same bird appear again, so it is still an unsolved mystery.
In addition to this incident, it is said that at the beginning of 2022, some netizens in Henan also revealed that they had witnessed the scene of "hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix" on an overpass. According to him, the leading bird was huge in size, with black and golden plumage all over the body, and a huge bright red "phoenix crown" could be clearly seen on his head, and his tail was also very large, scattering around like a phoenix.
Because its color is mainly black, many people also think that this is a legendary black phoenix.
However, later an expert went to investigate in person and found that the bird was actually an vulture . It was originally released by a local wild center, but in a bad condition, it was taken back for treatment.
As for the "phoenix crown" on its head, it is actually a sign placed by the protection center for marking distinction and tracking.
From this point of view, the black phoenix should not exist. It is very likely that people have just admitted some creatures wrong. Moreover, it was fine before. Now with such advanced technology, many jungles that few people have visited before have been detected by drones.
If there is really a phoenix, it will definitely be discovered. However, there has never been a real record of the Phoenix, which shows that it does not exist in reality.
So, what will be the mysterious creature discovered in Guangdong this time?
Judging from some of the characteristics introduced by the man, this mysterious creature was pitch black all over. When he was angry, his mouth would open hugely and his eyes would turn blood red. This is actually quite consistent with the physiological characteristics of Nighthawk .
Although nighthawks are distributed around the world, they like to come out at night, and the population is not large, so it is difficult for people to find their existence.
It is precisely because of the sparse number that nighthawks are strongly protected by the state and are a second-class protected animal in our country.
In addition, although there are many types of nighthawks, there are only 7 species in my country, and without exception, all of them have the same biological characteristics. The most obvious one is that their heads are more like snakes' heads, and their mouths can be opened very much, and they are fierce in nature.
So, the man should have saved a nighthawk. It may be that it fell into the water by accident, causing the feathers to be wet and cannot fly again, and they can only flap on the water surface.
