Saddle-billed Stork closeup A very large bird this Ephippiorhynchus is. I am unsure whether it is male or female, since both sexes have the same colors of feather. These birds eat everything they can, including insects, fish, small mammals, crabs and frogs.

    This one was taken at the zoo, but I did capture one in the wild before (Africa):
