The Shoebill Stork (AKA Balaeniceps-Rex)
Unlike it’s name suggests, the Shoebill Stork is actually closely related to Pelicans and is classified in the order Pelecaniformes.
So, most of the world didn’t even know this dinosaur bird (nicknamed B-Rex) even existed until the 1850s. Ancient Arabs and Egyptians had references to the shoebill but beyond that there were uncatalogued by most societies. Ancient Arabs referred to the shoebill as Abu-Markhub (father of the slipper) in reference to it’s giant beak.
The reason we didn’t have much knowledge of the shoebill is because it likes to live in complete solitude. Many birds will typically flock together in order to overcome their individual weaknesses, but the shoe bill doesn’t have that problem at all. So, it likes to live alone and only joins other shoebill when it wants to reproduce.
The shoebill can reach up to 5 feet in height and has a wingspan of 7 feet. It’s giant stature coupled with it’s giant beak make this bird a great hunter. The shoebill typically likes to hunt and eat animals like lizards, snakes, eels, lung fish, and baby crocodiles. After taking it’s prey into the mouth, the shoebill opens its mouth just enough for the animal to pokes it’s head out so it can decapitate it with the sharp edge of it’s beak. It can also just bludgeon an animal to death with it’s beak and sometimes they like to do that with baby crocodiles.
The shoebill is also an extremely silent and still bird, which also makes both hunting and staying away from people really easy, but when they actually DO make a sound, it sounds like a literal machine gun.
HERE is a video of that in case you’re interested.
I know they might seem super scary but they’re extremely docile with humans but before you decide to pet one, just know they like to shit on themselves to keep cool.
