Twitter is insane. Everyone knows that. But there's a reason that we cannot seem to stop using it. One of the main reasons we're still on there is because we love - we love - how excited twitter gets when they discover a new animal. It is the funniest thing ever every single time it happens. Like when twitter discovered silky anteaters and absolutely lost it, or when twitter discovered the real but mildly terrifying gerenuk and realized just why this animal is associated with the devil, or when twitter decided that mouse-deers look like badly drawn dogs and couldn't handle the comparison.

Animal twitter is one of our favorite places online actually because of it. And today, our need to stay on has been reaffirmed yet again because twitter has discovered yet another new animal. This time, it is one of the biggest and scariest animals ever - from both present and past - it is the Hatzegopteryx.

    We spend so much of our time around itty bitty cats and dogs that seeing a full-sized large horse freaks us out. Like- we could not even imagine if this thing suddenly came back from extinction now. We think our brains wouldn't be able to handle it, and we would just faint on the spot.

    Okay, fine, the beret kind of helps. This massive creature that would eat us literally in one bite does seem ever so slightly less intimidating with an itty bitty beret on. Thank you for the edit, it really has calmed us down a bit. Now, we don't know whether we would want to run from it or to pet it.
