Hackett, SJ Kimball, RT Reddy, S Bowie, RC Braun, EL Braun, MJ Chojnowski, JL Cox, WA Han, KL et al. "Eggshell structure in the shoebill and pelecaniform birds: comparison with hamerkop, herons, ibises and storks". "The phylogenetic affinities of the Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex)" (PDF). Also known as Whalehead and Shoe-Billed Stork. They also occasionally exert hoarse croaks, whines, and low-pitched tones, as well as 'bill-clattering'. They mainly prey on aquatic vegetation in muddy or calm, poorly-oxygenated waters, relying entirely on vision, contrary to most other large water-wading bird-species. Previously classified as being part of the order Ciconiiformes in the 19th century, DNA tests and closer examination (particularly of their eggshells) led scientists to reclassify Shoebills as part of the order Pelecaniformes and showed that they anatomically resemble Pelicans.Ī pair of Shoebill wading through foliage.īehavior-wise, the Shoebill is notable for its slow-movements and calm demeanor, reaming still for long periods of time. This is complemented by their distribution, in that they are normally found near swamps, wetlands, and rivers. The Shoebill's feet are large, which some speculate to aid them standing in water. This ones kinda basic and tbh i couldnt really find a fitting background so generic. Their wingspan can range from 230 to 260 cm. Subscreve para transferir M Shoebill - Kemono Friends - amekosame (Vell). Adult Shoebills height typically falls between 110 to 140 cm, sometimes 152 cm, and can weight from 4 to 7 kg. The Shoebill are a large avian species that are similar to Storks, in appearance, whose namesake comes from its very large, shoe-shaped beak. She has large wings on her head that transition from gray to black at the tips and a shoebill tail. Her hair also has two other features that resemble a real shoebill-a small tuft of hair in the back and a section in the front that is tied and colored yellow to resemble a shoebill beak. Her hair is the same shade of gray as her clothing and covers part of her yellow eyes, making them look slanted. She also wears gray leggings, gray sleeved gloves, black fingerless gloves on her hands, and black boots. Her main uniform consists of shorts, a shirt with two breast pockets, and a white tie. Shoebill wears a somewhat militaristic uniform that is mostly gray with black on the fringes.
