    I love how the bird keeps looking at one of the handlers expectantly whenever it kicks the snake. He's like "you gonna feed me yet?"

    1: That bird looks disturbingly dinosaur-like. 2: I love how, in between kicks, it looks at the guy controlling the snake as if to say "I know you're the one doing this! Stop bringing my prey back to life!"

    Sorry, I meant more that this bird looked more like a raptor than I was expecting. You can definitely see how it descended from dinosaurs, more so than a lot of other birds, and that makes the resemblance a bit disconcerting, especially looking at how it hunts.

    Well, birds are dinosaurs, so of course it looks dinosaur-like. That's like saying that humans look primate-like. It's probably very smart too, which is why it didn't immediately go for the rubber snake.

    I've always wanted to see one of these up close. When I was a girl, I read an old National Geographic article about them from the 50's, I think--about their egg-breaking skills in East Africa. They use tools! They take rocks and throw them at ostrich eggs. Clever, leggy birds...the runway models of the bird world! And yes, they make you think of a dinosaur, with their crown of spiky black feathers and their almost unreal shapes. Cool, aren't they?

    Blaziken relies more on its feet than it does its arms. Have you noticed that despite having arms and being part Fighting, Blaziken naturally learns more kick-based moves such as Double Kick, Blaze Kick, Hi Jump Kick? It's Pokedex entries even state how its even able to leap over a 30 story building, which means it has great lower body strength.
