I stumbled upon this creature last night on Twitter: The Shoebill Stork.
The Shoebill is a strange-looking bird, kind of prehistoric looking. They live in tropical areas and are largely found in Africa.
This creature is very odd. Some fun facts about Shoebills:
- They decapitate their prey with the tips of the very sharp beaks.
- The Shoebill’s feet are like dinasours.
- They make sounds similar to machine guns.
- This bird prefers not to fly.
- The Shoebill cools down using its own poop!
See them in action:
Such a strange bird, right?

I’d never heard or known of the Shoebill stork before! An odd and strange creature indeed.
Thank you DCG for this fascinating post. What an interesting and bizarre creature, who in any event, has a role to play in God’s organized nature.
Strange bird but looks friendly like you could walk right up to it!
Ahh…NO!!!!
When He was finished with the creation God had some material left over so he said to the angels “Wait’ll you see this!”
