The Shoebill Stork is a large, prehistoric-looking bird found in central Africa's swamps. Known for its massive, shoe-shaped bill and piercing stare, it stands over 4 feet tall with a wingspan of up to 8 feet. A silent and skilled hunter, it feeds on fish, frogs, and even baby crocodiles. Solitary by nature, the Shoebill is classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting.
