Indonesia Changes It's Asian Games Mascot Because It Looks Too Much Like A Chicken


Indonesia is revising the mascot for the 2018 Asian Games after criticism that the newly unveiled bird-of-paradise looks more like a chicken.

The mascot, called Drawa, was launched Dec. 27 by Vice-President Jusuf Kalla and is named after Cendrawasih, the local name of an iconic bird which is only found in Indonesia's eastern most Papua province, New Guinea, and eastern Australia.

However, many online critics have said the design makes it look more like a chicken than a bird-of-paradise, while others have said the mascot is out of date or just not suitable for such a major event. Cont.
