Males are smaller, slimmer, and darker in color as compared to females. While both sexes have wings, only the lightweight males can fly, as the females have a large, heavy abdomen which gives them limited, if any flight.</span></p> <p><span>[ </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurycnema_goliath">read more</a><span> ]</span></p> </blockquote>http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48649537100http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48649537100Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:44:45 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aa0beca535772c7d713816f8826e57dc/tumblr_mi45n9qHO01qm8fzgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <h1><span>Secretary Bird </span><small><span class="by">by</span> *<span>SnowPoring</span></small></h1> </blockquote> <p></p>http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48643836917http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48643836917Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:33:22 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/aa0d0f5cba772ad7e77f36007b51acc6/tumblr_mjp9475tHD1r71z6co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48591334466http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48591334466Mon, 22 Apr 2013 00:30:57 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a728b1985a8a86af354df84ff9ee4e56/tumblr_mk66q2AD4f1s92wzho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48460803235http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48460803235Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:39:15 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b87a0dc1c549a3d4d5e751d2ae0be0db/tumblr_mfgt3vog6a1qk4pdno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48266947269http://phantasticmenagerie.tumblr.com/post/48266947269Thu, 18 Apr 2013 04:29:49 -0400
