The shoebill (Balaeniceps rex), known for its imposing beak and intimidating gaze, is found primarily in the swamps and marshes of eastern and central Africa. They can grow nearly 5 feet tall, with beaks up to 9 inches long and 4 inches broad. They're known to stand still in shallow water, waiting quietly for the perfect moment to pick off prey like fish, snakes, lizards, and even baby crocodiles. Shoebills are solitary by nature, socializing primarily for the purpose of breeding, or in rare circumstances of food scarcity. When greeting other birds, they will also often engage in a rapid-fire bill-clattering at high volume.
