I don't know what a tbadion is but i bet its ferocious yet cuddly at the exact same time.

I am going to guess triceratops.

EDIT:
First Hint: The animal is about 1m 15cm - 1m 50cm tall. Roughly 45-59 inches.

[UniqueScreenname]

Stork

[kram2301]

we're getting closer but nope.

[Bartimaeus]

Stag.
Although that would probably be too tall.

Squirtle?

[kram2301]

Hint #2:
Stork was the closest as of yet.

[Bartimaeus]

Sparrow?

Swan?

[kram2301]

Nope and nope.
Don't forget the size.

[kram2301]

Ok, I guess I made it too hard. Maybe too specific.
I'll give you a much more specific hint:
It's a close relative to Pelicans, in the Order of Pelecaniformes.

And sorry for double posting.

[kram2301]

It's the real world base of a fictive bird species as seen in a fairly recent video game.

[flicky1991]

Shag (cormorant)?

[kram2301]

Nope, getting closer - even closer than Stork, actually... Biologically speaking.

[flicky1991]

Could you be more specific about the "fairly recent video game"?

[kram2301]

Nintendo game.
