Information: This giant bird of prey has several unique features. It is a cold blooded creature and is often seen bathing in the sun in order to regulate its blood temperature. The large fins on its head act like the ears of a desert rabbit on our planet in that they have a high concentration of blood vessels that are very close to the surface of the skin specifically designed for this temperature regulation.

Another unique feature to this creature are the eyes hidden in its plumage. It uses these eyes to scan the area behind it while eating to ensure no other creature is trying to stalk it. During flight, these eyes are also used to locate prey targets its forward eyes may have missed.
