Do you know a living fossil?

hello !! im @bigmom

Do you know a Shoebill? Shoebill is said to be a living fossil.
It is a name derived from Shoebill's beak resembling a shoe.

The average height of the Shoebill Stork is 100 to 140 cm. very~big kkk.
The feathers at birth are silver, but the more they grow, the darker the gray color. Also, as the life span, the color of the eyes changes from gold to blue.

The Shoebill live alone and do not like the approach of other individuals. Unlike other birds, they do not weep, but signal to the display (courtship action, area claim) or to their colleagues through the cluttering action of the beak vigorously opening and closing.

When hunting, the fish tries to catch a glimpse into the water for a while, catches it in the beak quickly and then swallows it. Especially during hunting, it rarely moves for a few hours, which seems to minimize the alertness of hunting targets. Digesting food takes more than a few hours, consuming 30% of the energy per day.
