    I will make a riddle for a animal from Chester Zoo and you have to guess. If you get it right then it's your turn, okay? This continues. Have great fun!


    Riddle: I come from the peaceful country of South America and I'm so beautiful.

    Unfortunately, as aesthetics are subjective and relative, the clue here only actually goes so far as to state that the species is from South America, which, given Chester's collection list, means that there is a vast number of possible answers.

    Considering the Sun Bittern has no living relatives bar the Kagu I struggle to see how it can be close :p
