And I have to make it again, and what a species it is. Truly mind blowing! Promoted to the homepage. Impressive also how you immediately figured out the species system on the site. Welcome to JungleDragon. Posted 8 years ago
Great shot and excellent timing.
The food in its beak is a wonderful bonus. Posted 8 years ago
