Behold the Marabou Stork - Africa's Feathered Undertaker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a mesmerizing scene as the sun sets over the enchanting Okavango Delta in Botswana. Silhouetted against the vibrant hues of twilight, stands a magnificent Marabou Stork - a true marvel of nature. With its long legs and impressive wingspan, this large wading bird belongs to the stork family Ciconiidae. Found across Africa south of the Sahara, it gracefully navigates both wetlands and arid landscapes with ease. However, there is more to this avian beauty than meets the eye. Known affectionately as "the undertaker bird" one can't help but notice its unique shape from behind. Resembling an old-fashioned funeral director with its hunched posture and elongated neck, it adds an element of intrigue to any wildlife encounter. As we gaze upon this stunning image captured by FLPA photographer David Hosking, our imagination takes flight. We envision tales of mystery and suspense surrounding these elegant creatures - perhaps they hold secrets only whispered among themselves under moonlit skies. So let us celebrate nature's sense of humor in bestowing such an amusing nickname upon these regal birds. The Marabou Storks bring life to their surroundings while simultaneously reminding us that even in death's shadow, beauty still thrives within our natural world.
