Holocene fauna: Shoebill

Published:

Description

in Holocene deposits are preserved always good specimens of the inhabitants of that time, but sometimes, some exceptions occur. this bird only her skull was found really unusual because unlike other birds of large peaks, this was the robust. This does assume that was a predator. the problem with this specimen is that only the skull was found, and no part of the body that leads to good reconstrucion. has been speculation about how it would be their appearance. the most accepted theory is that it may have been a small body, long arms and short legs. would not be strange since found different kinds of birds with this combination of large peaks and small bodies.

Because of its large size and likely small legs, I think it would only be reasonable to restore it as a quadruped. I find it hard how an animal like this would support itself and get around otherwise.
Long arms only support this theory.
