Never noticed before either, and I think that looks like an african crowned crane on the other side of the road.

For the record, I just got the Blu-ray, so I guess that this might have something to do with it. And, surprisingly, that crane isn’t even the only one in that scene. Another crane, a Sarus crane, appears at the tail end of that scene, and somehow, people mistook it for a Munchkin who decided to hang himself on set for some reason.

Of course they're not a native species. They're invasive. When the Munchkins aren't busy with bad singing and dancing, they organize toucan hunting parties to take advantage of the bounty offered by The Great and Powerful Oz.

In Zapotec cultures of Oaxaca (southern Mexico), a muxe (also spelled muxhe; [muʃeʔ]) is a person assigned male at birth who dresses and behaves in ways otherwise associated with women; they may be seen as a third gender.[1][2]

Root beer is not sold in Brazil. Sassafras, the main flavouring in root beer, is used as a dentifrice in South America. So, to Brazilians, root beer tastes like toothpaste.

Stu's a boy (I really hadn't checked).
The patient I got him from went out to feed his rabbits, a pair of Flaemish(sp?) giant rabbits one morning and found a strange rabbit curled up with them.
He couldn't find the owners, or someone to take him. So I took him.
Well, it turns out one of his rabbits is pregnant.
Kinda proud of Stu, actually.
He's a normal sized rabbit. So, not only did he climb that mountain, he knocked it up!

Are you now responsible for half the litter?
