THE ROC!
Anonymous File :-(, x)
Heh, but that's a myth, however when I looked up wikipedia they said that another bird could have inspired the myth of the Roc.
"It is possible that the origin of the myth of the Roc lies in extrapolations of the witnessed power of the eagle that could carry away a newborn lamb; references to the roc are found as early as the 8th century from Middle-Eastern authors, but in 1863 Bianconi suggested the roc was a raptor (Hawkins and Goodman, 2003: 1031). Much later, a giant subfossil eagle was actually implicated (Goodman, 1994)."
