The shoebill, also Abu Markub, is an African bird that used to be assigned to the walking birds, today it is assigned to the Pelecaniformes. The bird, named after its mighty beak, is a resident of swamps. Since its morphology is unique, it is assigned to a family of its own, the Balaenicipitidae. Wikipedia
