Seriously?What I forgot to mention: I find it quite amusing that the Website accidentally claims Lear's Macaw to be 750cm big
What do you mean by 'tear shape'?
Does anyone else think this animal is extinct?

What do you mean?
It’s just a joke
Anisodactyl? 3 Toes facing forward and 1 backwards? In that Case they should be quite easily be identifiable
But of course that's just a Guess. Don't understand why they just wrote Normal without any Explanation
I still can't tell if this is satire or still investigating the taxonomy of macaws seriously
Also think about looking at the Underside of the Tail and the Wings if it can be seen. I don't know if all Specimens had this but Glaucous Macaws had black Feathers on the Underside of the Tail and the Wings
Don't understand how this could be Satire.
I'm 100% serious though
@Urufu1997 could have the people who went on the expeditions for the Glaucous Macaw looked in the wrong place?
On the top, it says that it is found in subtropical forests with cliffs and savannahs with palm trees. They nested on these cliffs and on steep banks and on occasion in tree cavities.
This is just a thought.

Don't think they were looking in the wrong Place. The Habitats of Lear's Macaw and the Glaucous Macaw are pretty far apart from each other and they have a prefered Species of Palm Tree of which they eat the Fruit, so it should be extremely sure when a Macaw like that is seen in that Area that it's most likely the right Species. I assume if they still exist, they would be extremely rare. Also think it might be possible that maybe one is still kept as a Pet somewhere and the Owner not knowing what a rare Bird it is. Don't know though which Expeditions you talk about. If there is a Report about it somewhere I'd like to read about it. The People who went on those Expeditions are probably also trained Zoologists and Ornithologists which studied the Species very well before and what you describe as Nesting Places also sounds like what other Macaw Species use for nesting.
I still think the best Chance to rediscover the Species would be through genetic Testing of captive Animals. Some European Breeder bred them successfully in 1982 according to some Report which really isn't that long ago, especially if you think about how long they can live
OK then.
Thanks.
Hey guys, this is a long shot but could this lion from a Chinese zoo be the last barbary lion? It's thick mane would be perfect for keeping it warm on cold nights on the atlas mountains
That is a bear.Hey guys, this is a long shot but could this lion from a Chinese zoo be the last barbary lion? It's thick mane would be perfect for keeping it warm on cold nights on the atlas mountains
Why the trolling? It's a Tibetan Mastiff and yes, a chinese Zoo actually thought they could get away with stupid **** like thatHey guys, this is a long shot but could this lion from a Chinese zoo be the last barbary lion?

Watch your mouth.

That's why I've censored it lol
I thought the same thing.
Because whether or not something is a Lear Macaw or Glaucous Macaw or Spix's Macaw etc is based on genetics, not someones opinion. Fun conversation, but I also thought it was satire.
We can put on our detective hats and think something is a Glaucous Macaw, but what does genetic testing say at the end of the day?
I think genetic testing says 10 to 20 individuals remain in captivity. No sightings in the wild since the 80s.
