Scientific name: Balaeniceps rex (Gould, 1850).

This frontview photo shows the incredibly broad "shoe" bill for which the Shoebill is named. The bill has a large hook at the tip to help the bird
deal with its primary prey — lungfish. Although the Shoebill looks sluggish, and can stand motionless for long periods as it waits for lungfish,
it does have powerful wings. It regularly soars on thermals as do pelicans and storks.
