This Bird Is Basically a Real-Life Dinosaur

Ever seen a shoebill? Imagine a 4-foot-tall bird with an 8-foot wingspan, just chilling in a Ugandan swamp, looking like it walked straight out of Jurassic Park. Bird guide Nick Kleer finally spotted one in the wild and called it a 'dinosaur.' These birds are rare, statuesque, and have a beak that can take down fish—or even baby crocs. Bird nerds, add this to your bucket list! #Science #shoebill #birdwatching
