The Marabou Stork is a large wading bird in thestork family. It breeds in Africa south of theSahara, occurring in both wet and arid habitats, often near human habitation. They are scavengers.

A massive bird, large specimens can reach a height of five feet, a weight of over 20 lbs, and have a wingspan of 10.5 ft. It shares the distinction of having the largest wingspan of any landbird with the Andean Condor.

They are a certainly a strange looking bird. I see them often in Kenya, especially in Nairobi on Mombasa Road by Nakumatt Mega.
