Episode 206: Shocked by Shoebills

The Shoebill, or also known as Shoebill Stork, Death Pelican, Whalehead, and others, is one unique bird. What draws most to this bird is its enormous beak. It quite simply earned its name because it's beak looks like an old Dutch wooden shoe. Its massive. Native to central Africa, the Shoebill has carved out its ecological niche as a predator and plays a key role in maintaining freshwater ecosystems. It is a large bird that preys on anything from tilapia, lungfish to lizards and small crocodiles. The Shoebill is a prized sighting by many bird watchers and now we know why. In this week's podcast we cover everything Shoebill. From their natural history, ecological impacts, their physiology, reproduction and behavior. This is an incredible bird that will bring a smile to your face. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.
