The Phoenix is the stuff of
legend - but imagine if there really was such a colourful bird which was
several times bigger than an eagle and it was only one of its kind - a lonely
bird -only one and and seen once in a lifetime. The
story is that It dies in a blaze and is reborn. Such bird could actually have existed. This giant bird was
alone because it reproduced through parthenogenesis. It several times more
powerful than an eagle, it could swoop down and capture large animals scoop
them up, smash them on the mountain ledges and then devour them. It would
swallow in one large gulp and digest while gliding over the mountains. It flew
so high that no arrow could see it.
The Phoenix would make its nest on the highest mountains, only mountain climbers would have been able to see it. It was the only bird which needed fire to incubate the single large egg it laid after flying for a hundred years. The egg shell was so thick that the new fully grown Phoenix would not be able to get out of thick insulated shell, fire was needed to heat the egg shell and eventually melt the surface.
The old Phoenix would be there on the nest - the Phoenix would know the time had come for it to die, when its feathers were covered with oil. The Phoenix was the creature which taught man how to make fire, by rubbing sticks with its powerful beak. The nest would be made up incendiary stuff, when it burnt the old Phoenix would catch fire because on its feathers. With the intense heat of the fire, the egg would crack open and the new fully grown Phoenix would escape the flames, flapping its large wings and fly off to rule the sky. The people who witnessed this saw the bird burning and rising again.
No evidence of its existence is there because it self-immolates. It is never seen, because it is master of stealth and searches for large animals. But as time went by many of these animals became extinct are not found in many parts of the world the Phoenix starved, knew that its would suffer the same fate, did not lay another egg.From that time no Phoenix was seen ever again.
