Original: Possibly the ugliest birds? Marabou storks #ugly #birdphotography #birds #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #olympus #
Wildlife photographers are sharing images of marabou storks, large scavenging birds native to Africa, asking whether they are possibly the ugliest birds in the world. The storks are known for their bald heads, heavy bills and hunched posture, and their striking looks divide opinion among bird enthusiasts and nature photographers.
Why now: Photographers are sharing images of the marabou stork, whose unusual appearance reliably prompts debate over the world's ugliest birds.
