There is something about hybrid animals that make us want to cower in fear. Just imagine how scary it would be to find an animal who suddenly sprouted wings. These creatures would terrorize everyone that they came across. Once this video was shared on Twitter, a number of nightmares were brought to life. We’re not going to lie to you guys, we are a bit unsettled.

We wish that this Twitter user had given everyone a fair warning before sharing the clip but here we are. In the meantime, we are doing our best not to show our fear. We bet that this creature feeds on it. Sure, some of you might be saying things like “it’s just a crow” and “stop being a wimp”. That’s cool and all but have you seen this thing?

It is hard to believe our eyes. The crow seems to have been spliced with gorilla genes and now we can’t tear our eyes away. Our suspicions are confirmed by the fact that the crow appears to be standing on their own wings. This only serves to add to the illusion and create a greater level of panic. What happens if crows and gorillas are really able to come together like this?

It’s all fun and games now. Wait until these gorilla crows have descended upon your home, though. It won’t be so funny then, will it? The way that the animal cocks their head towards the camera is truly unsettling. It is as if he knows that he is the star of the next horror film that will be playing in our dreams. We cannot get over this clip, no matter how hard we try.

Unfortunately, we are too old to crawl into bed next to our parents. Twitter was understandably freaked out as well. Of course, one of the many knowledgeable folks on this platform was sure to explain it. The bird is actually a specific type of crow and this is the way that these animals sun themselves. He’s a large billed crow, to be exact.

朝から衝撃をありがとう。

This does not assuage our fears all that much but we are open minded regardless. The angle of the photo is what makes the animal look so fearsome. If you would like to find out more about this “gorilla crow” for yourself, you are more than welcome to check out the video clip. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you, though!
