Shoebills

This month, we’re taking a look at an animal that feels like it time-traveled straight from the Mesozoic Era. These large birds have some of the most interesting adaptations, including a bill that can crush through bone. So grab your binoculars as we trek to the marshes of Africa to talk about shoebills. For sources and more information, please visit our website. We’re so excited to share that we've launched a Patreon!
