Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 12:31 am
Here is a cute anime style drawing of ptarmigans. A daddy, mommy, and babies frolicking and dancing about. How cute does that get? Cute! 
The Japanese word for ptarmigan is raicho, which translates into "Thunder Bird" or "Messenger of God". Japanese sometimes put pictures of ptarmigans on their doors before a thunderstorm. They believe that ptarmigans protect them from thunderstorms.
