But it has neither feathers nor beak, so a bird it is not.\u00a0 It was briefly classified as a mammal, but the Winged Trooflenurg has no hair and is cold blooded.\u00a0 Some scienists have suggested it might be a form of fish, which it might be save for the fact that it neither swims or breathes in water.\u00a0 But without any better options, many have begun refuring to it as a fish.\u00a0 Tommy Wilkins, age 8, of Lombard, Illinois suggested that the Trooflenurg (both Winged and Wingless varieties) might be a large lizard.\u00a0 Scientists scoffed at this, since the idea was presented by a mere child.\u00a0 The mystery of the Trooflenurg may continue to elude modern science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Winged Trooflenurg Not to be confused with the Wingless Trooflenurg, which it resembles in all but it&#8217;s possession of wings, the Winged Trooflenurg is a most unusual creature.\u00a0 Modern science has been unable to explain this creature, or even &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/rob-peters.com\/blog\/daily-creature-6\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-creature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
