Shoebills

I was surfing the web when I found out about this bird called a shoebill. A picture of it is below. Weird looking, right? Here's some info about the shoebill that I got from:

Shoebills are related to storks. It's a large bird, averaging about 4 ft tall. It's also pretty ugly, as you can see by the picture. They feed in muddy water and eat lungfish and other specimens of the sort. They nest on the ground and usually lay about two eggs.
