SPECIES STATS
Standing at 140 cm tall with a wingspan stretching up to 260 cm, the shoebill is a prehistoric predator disguised as a bird. Its beak alone measures up to 24 cm, built to crush fish, baby crocodiles, and anything foolish enough to swim by. This is not your average stork — it’s the baddest birb in the swamp.
HUNTING DISTRIBUTION
Shoebills strike with deadly precision. Their success rate when hunting lungfish and catfish hovers around 60–70%, but they don’t waste energy — they strike, wait, and own their territory like a boss. Every wetland, every reed bed, 100% shoebill domain.
WHY SHOEBILL?
Silent. Motionless. Relentless. Shoebills don’t flock, they rule alone. Feared by fish, frogs, and even other birds, their vibe is pure menace. If you're looking for the apex aura of the wetlands, there’s only one answer: the baddest birb.
