Rhytons



I'm just doing the fin back whale as a large shallow bowl and the Philippine Eagle as a cup (hollowed  out head). The Saiga is a super funny looking animal and looks like it would be at home in a scifi movie.
 The Fin back whale, or fin whale, is faster than any ocean steamship and is almost 70ft long like many other whale it was hunted in the twentieth century for its blubber, oil, and baleen. Sadly this big guy is still hunted by the Japanese and Greenlanders.
The Philippine Eagle is as big as it sounds with a wingspan of about 6ft it is called the monkey eating eagle for good reason; it eats monkeys. Apparently this huge bird of prey has no predators except the ones (humans) mean enough to want to kill something so beautiful (it has a blue beak and spiky bedhead feathers!). Random fact: if you are caught killing a Philippine eagle you are stuck in jail for 12 years, Philippine law.
