"The phoenix is a magnificent legendary bird that is said to live as long as 500-1,000 years. At the end of its long life the phoenix was believed to be reincarnated from its own ashes. This extraordinary bird occurs in many ancient cultures including Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Egyptian and Native American." from the Eyeball Animation Drawing Book Creatures Edition from Accord Publishing, Ltd by Jeffery C.
