Agility Robotics' bipedal humanoid robot was designed with bird legs in mind.

" Link rummaged in his pockets and pulled out ten roasted bird legs."Uh…Sure. Whatever.

They are just two black watercolor lines, extra-long and extra-skinny, even as bird legs go.

It may be the only movie you'll ever see featuring a palace that walks on bird legs.

You said hate speech and harassment has turned your timeline into an ulcer-inducing nightmare: we gave the bird legs and made them long as hell.

But we've been testing the bird legs for months, and have seen the power of how much good it can do, and knew that we had to pull the trigger on giving the bird insanely long legs.

If the "plumbing" of our body, our veins in particular, was made of rigid pipes, and the skin of our legs was tough like that of bird legs, cardiac outflow would always equal cardiac inflow, but this is not the case.

At Twitter, our work is never finished — we're going to continue updating our site to give users the best experience possible; whether it's streaming a few NFL games sometimes, giving the bird legs, or even, down the line, throwing a second Twitter Moments tab up there on the dock.

These included 97 femora (thigh bones), 162 tibiotarsi (middle leg bones), and 87 tarsometatarsi (lower leg bones); bird legs differ from human legs thanks to evolution, which essentially fused some of what we'd call heel bones with the shinbone into an avian middle leg, and fused what we'd call foot bones with other heel bones into a third leg segment.

We've had hundreds of people cracking this thing for months: marketing experts figuring out how long is too long in terms of bird legs, engineers building complex algorithms to determine where the knees should go and how big the bird's feet should be, sales folks working around the clock to keep the lights on in the meantime — we've covered all of our bases.

A creature was on Warsaw's coat of arms in 1390. It showed an animal with a bird's legs and a torso covered with dragon scales. The seal of 1459 had feminine characteristics, a bird torso, human hands, a fishtail, and bird legs and claws. The first presentation of a mermaid dates from 1622.

African jacana. Extremely long toes and claws help distribute the jacana's weight over a wide area to allow it to walk on floating leaves. The anatomy of bird legs and feet is diverse, encompassing many accommodations to perform a wide variety of functions. Most birds are classified as digitigrade animals, meaning they walk on their toes, rather than the entire foot.

But as cladistic analysis had not yet been developed, it was of course not studied whether the similarities between P. mioceanus and the "higher waterbirds" are apomorphies. It has been noted, however, that adaptation to oceanic habits, has induced in pseudotooth bird legs and feet features convergent to other seabirds. Still, the fossil is a rather good specimen, considering how little humerus material known from pseudotooth birds; a recent cladistic analysis (which did not include P. mioceanus) did not put much emphasis on humerus traits, for example, as so few good fossils are known.Wetmore (1917), Olson (1985: p.

The Guajona (; ) or Lumia is a blood-sucking creature of Cantabrian legends, resembling a disfigured human female, resembling to an extent the witches and hags of medieval European folklore, with features specific to her feeding habits. She is covered from head to toe in an old thin black cloak, her hands and feet are gnarled bird legs, her face is yellow with consumed, rough and hairy warts, her eyes are tiny and bright as stars, aquiline nose and mouth provided with a single black razor sharp tooth that is so long it reach down to her under chin and used to suck blood. Only comes out at night and hides in the shadows but it is unknown where she sleeps during the day although it is suspected to be hiding underground. Guajona come in homes without getting noticed and walks silently toward healthy young children to suck their blood in their sleep by sticking her tooth into their veins.
