Meet Balaeniceps rex, the shoebill stork. The photo does not do this creature justice. They are large. And the way they move conveys a very strong sense of power and non-concern for people. They also have this gaze... i felt intimidated and unsettled. It was like looking back into time and being stared down by a carnivorous dinosaur. It is easy to understand in a visceral way why the scientific communities have recently started referring to the large reptiles that went extinct 65 million years ago as "non-avian dinosaurs" instead of just "dinosaurs"... dinosaurs are still alive and well after all this time, and they live among us.
