Roc



A huge bird, with a wingspan of 30 paces that is capable of carrying off an elephant It is so large that drinking cups can be made of its nails.
Allegedly the Kubla Khan sent men to inquire about the Roc, and they returned with a "feather" of the Roc that was 90 spans long (about 67 feet.) It may have been a palm frond.
