Also.. THE Simurgh is a creature/character from the Xanth novels by Piers Anthony. She is described as..
a bird the size of a Roc, whose feathers were like veils of light and shadow and whose crested head was like fire.
That's the wisest bird alive. It has seen the destruction of the universe three times and has all the knowledge of the ages.
From the Xanth novel
Dragon on a Pedastal
Until the release of this creature I'd only ever known of Xanth critter, lol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simurgh Learned something new about mythology.
I have a feeling this creature will be very popular.. so now I've got to collect a bunch of breeding stock.
