1. SHOEBILL Yes, this is a real bird, and no, it’s not a terrifying monster of the skies, though they do fly, and their wingspan can reach a whopping eight feet!. The shoebill (also known as a shoe-billed stork or whalehead) is a very large, storklike bird found in the swamps and tropic of East Africa. Due to habitat destruction, they are currently a vulnerable species. cc: Lalasticlala
