Standing on a bridge in Okinawa, Japan as the sun was setting last night, I spotted this thing that appeared to be a feather from one of the white egrets we have flying around here.
It caught my attention because when the wind stopped blowing, it didn't stop moving.
Too get a better look, I unholstered my camera and zoomed-in on it. It looked back at me.
Feathers don't have eyes. So, I climbed down off the bridge and got as close as I could without falling in the river. There's no telling what this creature might be. All I know for sure is it isn't a feather. It might be a bug, a lizard or some kind of ancient mutated minature dragon and I ain't telling anybody where it lives until some scientist tells me the scientific name of the creature.
If they don't have a name for this critter, I'll name it for them. It'll be something like:
WIERD WHITE LONG-HAIRED LIZARD-LOOKING ANCIENT MINATURE DRAGONASARUS ryukyumikusjaponicus, or something like that. You ever seen one ?
Have a look at photos of wildlife, festivals and travel sites here. Sharing tips for travelers with a twist of humor is part the life I enjoy in Okinawa, Japan.
