Shoebill Stork is bird and half seal and half dog ? Shoebill Stork still friendly sometimes wild if they bother big bird little afraid, and Birds has big mouth look like 🦕 only eat fish, snakes? baby alligators and more.
Hes Scary.....
Non conosci il nome del volatile in italiano? Vorrei cercarlo su TH-cam, mi ha incuriosita molto grazie comunque buona serata 🙄😘💕💖💋
@@MikeAGarza scusami non ti capisco ma ti ringrazio per la tua disponibilità 😍💋💖
L'ho trovato ho capito come si kiama grazie mille TVB ciao a presto 😍😍😍💖💋💋💋👍👍👍
Better manners than people at Walmart
😂😂
I never laughed this hard with the Walmart comment. Some people at Walmart may be unfriendly but thy are not rude
😂🤣🤣 yo
@@1brickrow I beg to differ
😂😂
These things terrify the living shit out of me but the bow and shake is adorable
I like the sound it makes
Ik.. The bow is nice, but the look they give when they stare at you is otherworldly, freaks me out
You have a weird name
Then look up the terror bird and yoy will have nightmares
They should they are directly related to the rex family which includes the indominus rex
Can't believe I'm 53 years old and still seeing animals I never knew existed. Thanks!
@LunarJim69. Ain't that the truth?! I'm 70, and would STILL not know if not for TH-cam videos.
I'm 115 years old
ahahah same here
I'm 65 and never knew that bird existed. But no one will ever get to see every creature that exists. It's great that life will always have mystery.
What a beautiful thing about life huh?
When I was a kid, I though this bird was just a CGI product, but now I know it's real. Truly magnificent creature
I totally get that. They don't look real.
it looks evil to me! creepy eyes and creepy stare.... at least they don't attack humans like the emu does!
When I was a kid, cgi looked like toystory that was made on a commodore 64.
Shoebill: " hmm some of my ancestors used to eat some of your ancestors but you seem nice. Give me fish please."
actually his ancestors disappeared way before our ancestors showed up
@Mazxj Stripes uhh, technically we all life has the same ancestor but that isn't what people mean when they talk about ancestors of different species. It doesn't include common ancestors nor ancestors that are unrecognizable to the current species.
@@reginaphalange9417 😂😂 I realized what your sn was while watching Friends on HBO Max.
@Mazxj Stripes either playing dumb or it's not an act
@@reginaphalange9417 paxwallace is referring to dinosaurs and mammals.
Absolutely incredible bird. Hopefully it's species will not become extinct.
No
@@Bruh-cb7tw no what
@@wolfie3657 just no
It will if it has its way. They kill off their own babies by forcing them to fight each other for survival. It’s their own dang fault for being crappy parents. Why can’t they just raise all the chicks like normal birds?
@@azuroslazuli6948 Dude learn more about animals and you’ll see how messed up they really are. They kill each other more than we kill them.
These birds need to be protected at all times and taken care of.
Absolutely
I would absolutely bow to this beautiful majestic bird ! It makes me so angry that only 14 are left in the wetlands, that’s just so tragic for such a beautiful animal !
I don’t know why so many think this bird looks scary. It’s really pretty cute.
I think it's a primitive recognition of a predator. I know it doesn't eat humans, but it's ancestors sure could have...
For sure!
@@lemonlime8915 I think it’s adorable.
His eyes look angry from the front?
To me they don't quite look real, abit like a puppet or something. As I'm learning about them, despite their scary look, they seem relatively friendly and the fact that you have to bow to them to be accepted is kind of cute.
I would be honored to bow to this bird. Not in servitude but because of the simple communication that would open him up to me. So very beautifully cool.
not in servitude, lmao! As if you can become it's squire or something.
but I still agree.
@@RBZ-1 I was trying to clearly state that bowing down to A BIRDS LEVEL was not a show of worship, rather just getting g to birds eye level. You have got to admit that saying the word "bow" is in line with "taking a knee" and therefore I would get a response like "oh look, she "worships" a bird.
Glad you agreed.
Lol
agree
I'd worship him.
When you are welcomed by this bird, you are also a friend. They will allow you to visit their nest and see their babies. It’s quite amazing.
Ah that's lovely 😊 such a beautiful bird❤
But they hate their babies. Except the strong one.
Please don't let them become extinct
Such a beautiful bird probably a lot to reach us
SAVE THE SHOEBILL
Awww, what a noble and polite dinosaur. ☺️
If they are really down to only 14 of these amazing birds, it might be in their best interest to have a professional group of animal lovers to give those remaining birds a place to mate and raise the actual numbers of these gorgeous angels so that future populations can enjoy their presence! ❤
It will take awhile for the population to grow also unfortunately. If I remember correctly, they will only raise 1 at a time and they pick their favorite and let nature take the other. At least if they bred in captivity more or less, humans can raise the one kicked out. 😢
What a glorious and prehistoric looking bird/dinosaur!
I sincerely hope this unique bird does not go extinct...
An incredibly beautiful bird.
Thank you!
Sass mate
This shows dinosaurs are still roaming the earth.
Not for long
@@shinji1264 same for every living n non living. Time is a bitch
Ofcourse they r but evolved one:-)
@Canal De TH-cam no wonder our chickens try to attack my sister
@Canal De TH-cam one bit my grandma she smacked hin
This is one kind of animal I'd gladly go out of my way to save from extinction. They're so pretty and intimidating at the same time, and so polite.
Shouldn’t you go out of your way to save every animal from extinction?
That's it in a nutshell. Funny aswell 😆 ❤
I absolutly adore these birds, it’s always the sweethearts that go endangered
Because they're too trusting of people. I'm sure people feared these birds too without knowing anything about them and basically killed them off. It's disgusting. Many people believe everything on Earth is theirs to own and rights too even if it's another life.
yeah thats what i was thinking😢 i hate humans...
@@Plush-Freddys-Pizzaria A lot of humans really aren’t that intelligent , why do you think most of the world lives in poverty while the rich are only a very small percentage
This bird got more manners then most humans. The bowing is cute n he does it back aww
We as humans just can't get it right.... we endanger everything from our reefs to our animals to our air & forests, even bees !!! Will we ever learn?
No, unfortunately. It is easier to and cheaper to do the wrong thing.
That’s been happening for less than 100 years. It’s not been happening for long enough for us to realise and correct our mistakes. You can’t just drastically change massive systems without caused major damage to the world economy.
We will learn when we get extinct
@@jupiter8512 If we do, it'll be too late.
Oh, for goodness' sake. Humans are the only ones who can help such creatures!
I still can't believe this beautiful animal exists...it looks like a mythical creature
How polite and friendly, it's adorable
They don't look real. They definitely look like a dinosaur.
They look like pokemon
It's honestly so surreal, it's freaking me out. I think it's because we've only ever seen anything remotely dinosaurian in the form of CGI, animatronics, art etc., so when we see something real that looks dinosaurian, it looks fake and uncanny because that's how we've been conditioned.
Because birds are the closest living relative to Dinosaurs just look at Ostriches and Cassowaries
@@JoJo-hm6xu Birds *are* dinosaurs. Just a little more "refined," if you will.
@@Shadow-In-The-East just smaller dinos roaming around freely
Something about seeing any bird makes you feel full of life. Hard to explain but I hope this bird sticks around🤙
Birds have the gift of flight, they have true freedom. We have some beautiful and majestic birds in Australia, this fellow is truly amazing. A living link to the past.
I would absolutely bow to this bird.
I must say Skyward Sword 4K Zelda Loftwings look very impressive.
Whats up broham?!? Lol You know we already know about these birds.
I was gonna say they looked familiar for some reason.😅😂
It would be awesome if you could bring awareness to this endangered animal and set up a donation stream! As maybe a Zelda 35th anniversary commemoration?
@@jab2928 that would be great honestly.
@@jab2928 awesome idea! I'm in.
The shoebill is my favorite animal ever
We love them also! They're simply incredible.
Never seen a bird with so much respect.
I really hope this amazing bird doesn’t go extinct
Wow a living prehistoric dinosaur bird, to bad the human race are trying to make them extinct. 😡
Hoho
#HumansSuck

Not just white people.
Decepticunt69 yea white ppl
pink friday🃏 imagine the animals that lived in Africa that got wiped out sad shit
He does look almost like something created for a movie. He’s amazing. I like the rapport he allows with humans. Maybe he appreciates being saved from this world but he’s very cool.
This bird has a nice quiet hush personality, you don't really want to get it on its bad side.
Stunning beautiful prehistoric bird. Hope they will be more and save in their habitat
What a magnificent treasure the Shoebill Stork is. I hope they're protected species. Beautiful.
Wow. Hope you can pay his expenses: he comes with a big bill!
Edit: thanks, everybody. This was my very first TH-cam comment.
Outstanding, sir.
Nice
Take my like
You are my new religion
OMG I hate you and love you.
Beautiful bird. Unusual. Pray the people of Uganda protect this gem.
If i had the ability to find one of these i would see it as a great honor to be able to bow to it.
What kind of prehistoric memory and knowledge does that brain store... Incredible creature.
Wow, no other words. We must not loose these birds. First time I have seen one and I love them. Thank you for this.
Ahhh man I hope they don't go extint. They look so prehistoric! The fist time I saw one I thought it was fake. Amazing animals.
I've been watching animal programs on TV since the 80s and this is the first time I've known about this bird.
Tell him I love him thanks
The shoebill stork is my absolute favourite animal. What a magnificent creature 💚💚💚 Thank you for all the good work you're doing in trying to preserve the beautiful wetlands in Uganda and helping the shoebill's natural habitat 🙏
I am so enamored by this cutie. I'm keep finding him on the internet today. He's a perfect ambassador to save his species.
The Shoebill stork is my favorite bird. So intriguing! I'm glad they are trying to save them from awful loggers and those who want progress!! Makes my blood boil at how many animals are encroached up in Canada too!
Awesome stork and a big thank you to those who are helping to save these beautiful birds.
It looks like an evil demon bird that quietly whispers in your ear telling you do bad things
Haha thanks
Whatever man
"Eat the wall Erica, just eat the wall. Do as I say. EAT. THE. WALL."
Bad things like "youre mom stinks" or "you are fat"?
And bow at You
"After he was injured by locals who set fire to his home" - I love how this is worded, it makes it so much more relatable to humans.
Truly amazing and beautiful bird! I would love to see one in person!!!
I'll admit they look scary but then gentle too the way they reacted to the guys. They're awesome. ❤❤❤❤ We must keep these birds
#SaveTheShoebillStorks😮
Shoebill: tall, territorial, huge scary mouth, looks like a dinosaur that sounds like a machine gun AND you must bow to it in greating...
Humans: lets name this one sushi...
Probably a card carrying democrat
@@kevinduffy2502 or a inbred backwater republican
@@Shrimpfriedpee lol not... so Demoncrat of you to use someone else's joke.. couldn't think of anything else on your own now could you ?
@@kevinduffy2502 No reason to have brought that up. Avoid doing so in future cool animal videos.
@@ryanotte6737 I know I'm sorry I should have thought about that poor bird being tied to a card carrying Democrat
He actually behaves so much like Buck Beak of Harry Potter and looks so much like a dinosaur 😍 why are we losing these incredible species from our planet so fast?
Business as usual is why.
Animal agriculture
Stop having kids and reduce expansion of human habitat. That is the solution for every natural disaster and extinction of endangered species.
@@ratlakmin I'll leave the "stop having kids" part to people like you lol. Me not having kids isn't going to help a bird in Africa, and I shouldn't really care even if it did. That's up to Africans to stop the destruction of these birds. Don't know why it takes Europeans to preserve African animals.
@@c.odubhlaoich2948 lol I m not talking about one bird who lives in Africa I m refering to all endangered species around the world. As human population increases more deforestation for housing as a result animals loses their habitat.
There is no population control with humans .
I would absolutely bow to the shoebill. So cute! precious birb.
I’d definitely bow to this Shoebill bird. He’s gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰
I've seen one of these birds on another channel and she's absolutely beautiful to me, they're just beautiful cause they do look like they're a dinosaur. I'm glad that you're protecting these birds
I wouldn't need to be told to bow. I would do it by instinct. Look how ancient he looks. Respect!
I would definitely bow to this majestic creature..hope it's still there
Its so awesome that this prehistoric species survived after all these years. I hope we are able to save them so that the species doesnt fade out.
These animals are amazing! Bow, mimic and clap to approach them. Phenomenal. He know how special he is ♥️
Oh please save them. They're beautiful.
I mostly like shoebill storks for being the most polite bird there is. They'll greet you with a bow and some applause and cheerfully return the courtesy to anyone who does the same to them as well.
Crazy how they look so menacing but they're actually so friendly and chill.
How have I not saw one of these birds before , just beautiful ❤️
They are beyond magnificent!!! 🦖❤️
Such a beautiful bird so sad that there's not very many remaining in this world😪
I would love to see one of those in person.
Shoebill Stork: why should I hire you?
Human: 0:02
Shoebill Stork: when can you start?
Wonderful bird! Just stunning!
I didn't thought they were friendly to people, truly miracle of a bird.
I love how there is clear language between them.
It would be an amazing experience to see such bird in real life. It definitely looks prehistoric, dinosaurs 🦕 must have been quite the sight!!
Come on people quit killing off our animal friends
There tasty though.
@egress msarg then we will all die stop making it seems that animals are way more important than us
Yes, but how else can precious billionaires make more billions?
@egress msarg ok lets talk about the ecosystem what would happen when every human being turns vegan or vegetarian theres 7 billion maybe more people on this planet plus the additional herbivore animal makes up 70 percent of the land animals including omnivorous animals and 62 percent of all bugs and insects are herbivores now if all of us just eat plants then eventually in a few years well die from the lack of plant and trees and any other edible plant leaving us with the venomous ones which of course then we herbivours, and carnivours will die same with killing of too many carnivours he herbivours will over populate then w'ell be back to starvation for the lack of edible plants thats why we have the food web and food chain the way it is to keep the balance so it's not bad killing off a few animal so the beam don't lean over too much to one side and cause upheaval to the ecosystem and now you learned something form a stupid comment
@@ia4773 you went of topic she's not talking about being vegan these birds are not for consumption and furthermore that's not the main thing killing them off it's hand destroying there habitat. do you get it now.
Shoebills are the sweetest cutest birds I have ever seen ❤ 💙 💜 💖 I love the way they demand respect wen meeting one.i 🙏 the world stands together and protects these amazing bird beings .Uganda is rich in having these birds grace there wetlands. So lucky they are .
I'm falling in love to this special bird... This is definitely my favorite wild animal ever! I hope one day I meet directly to this amazing creature..
if i got funding i would GLADLY run a rehab recue ranch for these big bois. i love how cool they look and how friendly they are.
I bet if u started to make a rehab people would pay you to support it.
The w forming connection with human before becoming his next meal
Pobrecito, que increible lo que hemos hecho los humanos con los habitats de los otros seres que habitan este planeta, todo destruimos, ojalá más personas como las del video, cuiden y valoren a todas las especies.
A magnificent bird that recalls the time of the dinosaurs. A precious bird to be preserved.🦤😍❤️
Nature rules, we will learn that soon , the hard way...
Well you were right.... greetings from Italy
F F take care, Love Italy!!
Things are getting better luckily, but we need to change a lot to prevent things like that in the future. Stay safe!
This comment aged like milk lmao
the clownit1984 outbreak was totally lab-made
Anyone that doesn't believe that dinosaurs and birds are the closest relatives just needs to see this bird.
Such a beautiful majestic bird!
Better manners than any human. I would consider it an honour to meet one up close like this. Bless
Holy crap I want one of these. These guys sound like such a cool pet. They’re nice of you are kind to them, they don’t seem too territorial, and I feel like they could be taught to mimic people. Imagine teaching a majestic creature like this to mimic a human and being able to “walk” the guy in a park, except instead of a leash, y’all just walk side by side.
How have I never seen or heard of this bird before? Its so unique
Really rare
They're all dying
@@cosmicslushii1457 Hope not😢
They take my breath away...they look prehistoric, please protect them❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely a magnificent endeavor, and the Shoebills are so precious. My best wishes to you and your Shoebill buddies!!!
Giff-Master
The W 🥶👌
Bless the beast and the children ....
I love nature and everything about it that is natural....
This bird needs to be saved it is so unique ....
Children and animals are paying the price of evil on this earth....
Creation is just to beautiful to be treated like it is nothing !
Keep up the good work, it's heartbreaking to lose species. They don't deserve it. Thanks!
This is the definition of uniqueness and amazing!
Wow... I can't believe that everyone in the comments are literally like "a prehistoric animal". No one going to talk about how they saw this bird for the first time? I literally didn't even freaking know about this creature until today. Truly amazing... I really hope they won't disappear. It looks so majestic... wow.
That was incredible. My daughter just showed me this shoebill bird. I've never heard or seen it b4. TY for sharing
Absolutely stunning animal, we need to protect it at all costs
He seems so sweet!
This is a certified w classic
They are beautiful! God save these amazing birds!
It looks cute but the way it communicates is even cuter, and seeing people reciprocate its greeting is just the cutest
They're BEAUTIFUL birds!
They look so tough and menacing. It's a shame that they are critically endangered.
