Shoebills are awesome
Shoebills are ancient birds that have been recognized by humans all the way back to the time of ancient Egypt
The shoebill is a large species of bird that has a distinctive bill shape unlike any other. This type of bird can be found in Africa and mainly lives in swamps. Although the shoebill bird looks like a stork, it’s not exactly the same thing as a stork, and scientists have been a little confused about how to classify it for some time. These days, it is listed as part of the Pelicaniformes order, but it hasn’t always been. The shoebill is also sometimes called “whalehead,” although this is much less common a term than the more widely-used shoebill.-- Shoebill.org...
