I love #Shoebills and had never seen a chick until now. I love their expressions, their bowing and machine gun noises.

🌍 Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex) The Shoebill is a large, grey, prehistoric-looking wading bird with a distinctive, massive, shoe-shaped bill. It is found in freshwater swamps and marshes of central and eastern tropical Africa, particularly in Uganda, South Sudan, and Tanzania. They are solitary and highly territorial, often standing motionless for extended periods, "statue-like," before striking with surprising speed to ambush prey like lungfish, other fish, and even young crocodiles. They are largely silent but engage in bill-clattering. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Vulnerable (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by PetrCZ via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-animal-beak-eyes-feathers-5473356/ VCTY

Absolutely fascinating creatures!
They really do seem prehistoric. That third eyelid is amazing.
Nature is full of surprises. Mother Nature takes care of her own.

These human-sized birds are tough enough to eat baby crocodiles, yet they face #extinction, thanks to
habitat destruction, illegal #hunting, and practices of the exotic pet trade.
Learning that #shoebills are struggling is not a good omen of things to come.

Shoebills practice a hunting technique called 'collapsing', which involves lunging and falling forward onto their prey. #science #sciecenfacts #shoebill #shoebills #collapsing
