What is a shoebill?
A shoebill, also known as a whalehead or shoe-billed stork, is a large bird that is native to the swamps of East Africa. It is named shoebill because of its distinctive-looking bill that resembles a large shoe. These birds grow up to 5 feet tall and have a wingspan of over 8 feet. They feed on fish, frogs, and small mammals and are known for their slow movements and patience when hunting. Despite their impressive size, shoebills are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting.
