What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBBC Wildlife Magazine describes an animal with one enormous, weird head that lives high up in the mountains and looks like an AI designed it by mistake.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love him already. Big head, big altitude, no apologies. I'd run his photo through a dating filter, but is it subtle enough?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt is not subtle. That head arrives a full minute before the animal does.
