The Anqā was a powerful bird with a long neck and a face resembling that of a human. It had four legs, and its feathers displayed various colours. The Anqā would carry away children and enjoy eating them. Distressed by its actions, people complained to the current prophet, who, through prayer, made the bird disappear. It is said that the Anqā still exists on some island, continuing its life by hunting elephants and other large animals.
In Persian, the expression Simurgh Shodam is famous, meaning to disappear or go into hiding.
