EDITORS COMMENTS
As the sun begins to set, casting a golden glow over the African savannah, a mesmerizing sight unfolds near the Mara River in Kenya. In this print captured by NP from Discover Images by AWL, we witness nature's spectacle as dusk approaches. Perched high up on a large wild fig tree, silhouetted against the vibrant sky are Marabou storks - majestic creatures with their distinctively long beaks and feathered bodies. These magnificent birds have chosen this ancient tree as their roosting spot for the night. Marabou storks are known as scavengers of the African wilderness, gracefully soaring through the air in search of carrion and scraps left behind by other animals. Their presence signifies not only their survival skills but also their vital role in maintaining ecological balance. The image transports us to East Africa's Transmara region, where wildlife thrives amidst breathtaking landscapes. The sheer size of these leptoptilos crumeniferus species is awe-inspiring; they stand tall with wingspans that can reach up to nine feet! This photograph serves as a reminder of Africa's rich biodiversity and its delicate harmony between man and nature. It encapsulates both the beauty and resilience found within our natural world.
