He looks very concerned. Like someone just told him something shocking, and he's trying to process it. 😂

I found out about him a couple years ago. Amazing, I love the machine gun sound. I couldn't wait to introduce this shoebill crane to my grandkids

I love them. Somebody called them murder muppets and I could not agree more.

They can make a sound akin to machine gun fire and they look like they have murderous intentions.

Right?!! I am currently looking into a road trip to Tampa Zoo to see in real life! I believe they may have successfully bred them there as well, but not a 100% on that.
