Viewers left baffled by crow that looks like gorilla in Japan

A crow that has been compared to a gorilla for its odd stance is actually sunning itself, ornithologists say.



Footage filmed in Nagoya, Japan, appears to show the animal balancing on its hulking wings which are obscuring the view of its legs.



The brawny-looking bird cocks its head from left-to-right, giving the impression it is on the lookout for a decent scrap.



But a researcher at the University of Washington has described how the crow's behaviour has a direct link to sunny weather.
