SHOEBILL STORKBalaeniceps rex©Avi_Abrams
The Shoebill, also known as Whalehead, is a very large stork-like bird. It derives its name from its massive shoe-shaped bill.
The adult bird is: 115–150 cm (4-5 feet) tall100–140 cm (40–55 in)  long230–260 cm (9-10 feet) across the wings 4 to 7 kg  (8.8-15.5 lbs) in weight
The Shoebill lives in tropical east Africa in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia. They feed in muddy waters, preying on fish, frogs, reptiles such as baby crocodiles, and small mammals. They nest on the ground and lay 2 eggs.
This species was only classified in the 19th century when some skins were brought to Europe.  It was not until years later that live specimens reached the scientific  community. However, the bird was known to both ancient Egyptians and Arabs. There are Egyptian images depicting the Shoebill, while the Arabs referred to the bird as abu markub, which means one with a shoe, a reference to the bird’s distinctive bill.

I find it really funny that everyone uses tumblr as a way to express their feelings, and how sad they are about everything. Heres the thing guys, no matter how sad you are, how many pictures of hearts and people kissing on a beach and write about how depressed you are the fact is that its not going to do shit. Yes, it may help you feel better but why… because you see that there are other people out there that feel the same as you? Cool, and yet you dont actually do anything about it other than whine on the social networking site of your choice.

If you want things to change hop off the computer and go do something about it, go meet some girls, go make some money, go rekindle a lost friendship, but sitting here posting depressing pictures isnt going to fix shit.
