Thunderbird is a term used in cryptozoology to describe large, bird-like creatures, generally identified with the Thunderbird of Native American tradition. Similar cryptids reported in the Old World are often called Rocs. Thunderbirds are regarded by a small number of researchers as having lizard features like the extinct pterosaurs such as Pteranodon. Although reports of Thunderbird sightings go back centuries, due to the lack of scientific evidence (such as a fossil record), the creature is generally regarded as a myth.
This article deals with modern sightings (the last 200 years) of such a creature, reported as real, as opposed to mythological accounts, though believers in the phenomenon often use the Native American legends in attempts to support their claims.

  • the reason why they are called thunderbirds is that they are said to bring thunder, that sounds like far fetch. Here is why natives though that, well the birds live on the mountains chains. The thunder storms produce an updraft, that allows the birds to go high elevations, then fly above the clouds during a thunder storm, in reality they are not bringing the thunder, but the thunder is bringing them.
