The shoebill takes his ugliness very seriously indeed. His huge, bulbous bill is straw-coloured with erratic, scratchy, grey markings. Measuring up to 24cm ithis bill is also ferocious. The small population is declining due to habitat destruction and degradation, nest disturbance, increased hunting levels and capture for the bird trade. [Photo/Agencies]uul黄石翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
