Feeding Frenzy
The Marabou Stork, Leptoptilos crumeniferus, is one of the largest flying birds in the world. Marabou Storks will eat just about any kind of animal, dead or alive and have evolved their naked heads and necks as an adaptation for feeding on large animal carcasses without getting their head feathers soiled with blood.
