1. muscles desined only to produse heat, and lots of it.
2. ok, i'm lost, can you please explane?
3. all this is, is spitting water. that's it. it dose not need talons or chemicals, it just needs water. all we need to do is find out how to get the creature up that high, and were golden. we should start a topic on that, what do you think?

Okay, one last try. I frankly no longer believe that an organism could literally generate ice, but perhaps it could do the next best thing. Might it be possible to organically create liquid nitrogen?

i looked it up, and the Rüppell's Vulture has been recorder to reach altitudes of 36,100 feet above sea level, well within the altitude that jets fly and my idea would work. also, i could have it be an endangered species, that would work well with my progect.

You know the funny part; that's below the really cold part, the lower stratosphere. That still isn't cold enough to snap freeze water.

The fuselage also should be noted as not being able to thrash or repel water. Under that logic spit on dew frost should freeze.

Can I have that last bit in English, please? Water freezes warmer then molecular nitrogen boils.

if the water is sprayed out like in the expirement, then it should freeze the same way.

if the water is sprayed out like in the expirement, then it should freeze the same way. When they sprayed the water it didn't freeze; it froze when they ran a drip and it took (I believe) 45 minutes to form

(looks back) it took 20 min for the chunk to grow to 10 in, but the freezing effect was immediate. if the creature is pashent enofe (i know, bad spelling) to follow the prey and keep the crystals forming intill it can't move or is to heavy to fly, then i think that this could work.

I'm still going with an endothermic reactive spray being the only way to do this, and the only way the could come about is with a stupid amount of GE.
