The rare, big headed nose-falcon. Only its feet are submerged. Scientists still cannot explain its ability to actually fly.

Yeah say "hi" and be happy while you can. Soon enough you'll be found starving to death or dead already because the ice melting and global warming is modifying your environment to the point where your food ressources (well those not taken by humans in more than they need quantity) move somewhere else while you don't.
