I mean, you're not wrong. These things are basically just prehistoric birds that survived a really long fucking time. Probably wearing their dinosaur badge with pride at this point. Good thing they like us humans, and don't often see us as food.

@@zippyparakeet1074 a chimpanzee is also 4'11 - 5 feet but everyone knows they can destroy you, it's definitely not about height it's about muscle distribution and use, a human jaw is one of the strongest muscles in the body just imagine something that can't compromise by cutting its food or having it pre killed, this thing kills animals and eats them it could certainly kill you.
It's because they can't move their eyes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_dPlkFPowCc.html Edit: they can, just can't track objects by only moving their eyes.
The fact that, that creature lived in ancient times and believed to be extinct, makes it so majestic and just listen to the sounds ancient animals make
As threatening as it may seem, they don’t have any homicidal tendencies towards humans at all. In fact if you just bow to them you will earn their respects instantly. They are one of the friendliest Dino descendants out there
While you make a fair point, the bowing thing is only true with Sushi. They are friendly towards humans though. Scientists could get within 6 ft of their nests with no territorial behaviors.
@@DrakoRaptor lol they gave Mother Nature a deathstare and she said “Ok I’ll come for you in a few more millennia but then I’m serious you Shoebills will be extinct with the rest of the dinosaurs”
I can't be the only one who's amazed that it can move its neck and body while keeping its head frozen in place. Like the head got stuck in "Pause" mode while the rest of the body is in "Play" mode. What makes it even more fascinating is the sheer size of the head. Being able to keep it completely still is really cool.
super late reply, but bird eyes are much larger compared to their skulls than human eyes, and are often semi-elliptical , which both make them hard to move. this led to them developing an incredibly keen sense of balance and the ability to keep their head steady, as their eyes can't make minor adjustments, so without the ability to keep their heads level and move smoothly they would be unable to focus their vision.
Thank you, ThatsCrazyVideos, for not filling the video with “creepy”/“suspenseful” background music or an obnoxious narration yammering on about what it sounds like, as 90% of YT videos about animal sounds tend to do. This was a great shoebill video. I can’t get enough of these majestic Mesozoic reruns.
@@TheColdestBoi Unlike the Cassowary, Shoebills aren't really that aggressive, despite the fairly mean-looking stare they give. Unless you get too close to their nests with eggs or young ones, Shoebills are more curious but cautious, so if you remain calm and approach it slowly (or let it approach you), you might be able to get very close to a fascinating, yet endangered bird. Because of it's size, the Shoebill doesn't have a lot of natural enemies, the Nile Crocodile and the occasional stalking feline might snatch up a fledgling here or there, but because the adult bird can fly and it's up to 60 inches in height, it doesn't have any flying predators that can take it mid-flight.
If you think this is wild, you should go check out what we find in the bottom of Marina's Trench or what we pull up from under the Arctic ice. Literal alien world that feels entirely disconnected from any Earth zoology.
@@connorpickens7523 - I’ve seen photos... Those creatures are terrifying! The innate fear of the dark we all seem to be born with suddenly makes a lot more sense after getting a look at those guys.
It looks like he's thinking about saying something then just convinces himself it's stupid or irrelevant and shakes his head no to quiet his mind. So interesting.
They look like puppets/animatronics or something. Even more unreal when they make noises, they're like living drums or something. So amazingly strange.
The Earthtones .Top of the day. Who said anything about size ? That's the camera in a zooming angle. As far as sounds goes, birds are ancestors of dinosaur. Some Dinosaur had feathers. So they make similar sounds for mating and territory , calling their young. A large BIRD is similar to a small BIRD. NOT EXACTLY BUT SIMILAR. A cat in similar to a LION and Tiger. THANKS for comment.
Animal instinct.. in prehistoric times they might have hunted us as much as they other way around.. our gut knows a threat when we see it. Gorgeous though, once you get past that, right?
you are not a beast, nor did you come from them, no matter how hard you think you can hide your sin behind pseudoscience. your sin is bigger than the universe.
Not gonna lie.. Never saw one til right now and looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was something from Jim Henson or an puppet they were going to using in Jurassic Fallen Kingdom
I keep sending different versions of this out--so people will know this mainly African bird, is REAL! It Does look Muppet-like--but it can have temper, & can bite! Siblings often get in vicious fights---Those eyes make it look like a doll-like pretend animal. No,no, it's all too real.
Well, listening to a shoebill stork’s mating call sure gives you the chance to hear one. This gigantic bird looks as though it came from some prehistoric dinosaur time. The shoebill stork, also known as the whale-headed stork, or shoe-billed stork, is a big grey bird scientifically named as Balaeniceps Rex. Shoebill storks are found in marshes, wetlands, and swampy areas in eastern Africa. Spotting one of these giant dinosaur-like birds on a safari tour is undoubtedly a must-see.
Monk Wales Anything that the human can see,it gets destroyed.Just see in a few years and that birds will be dead because they arent in their natural habitat....
Akash K no that's over dramatic they are a person and seeming I've heard this and never known wtf it was of course I cried plus I was younger then and even now I'd still cry but not because I'm scared but because they are beautiful and huge.
Well, not just "basically", *literally*. All birds are classified as "Avian Dinosaurs" while the large dinosaurs of the past are known to scientists as "Non-Avian Dinosaurs"
Kaz Avian Thats very interesting. I didnt know this. I knew that birds are their decendants, but didnt know they were literally scientifically classified as dinosaurs. thanks!
Its not classified as a stork anymore. Scientists have concluded that its part of pelicans. www.owlpages.info/downloads/A_Phylogenomic_Study_of_Birds_Reveals_Their_Evolutionary_History.pdf
The reason it does that is because birds can't move their eyes around like we can, so to keep their vision focused on a single thing while moving around, they have to keep their head in one spot, while their body moves independantly.
I'm looking at it now, and it wasn't too terrifying in the beginning. It actually seemed rather cute. Then it turned toward the camera and raised its head. I shuddered in terror for a moment, and felt better once I heard the noise I came to hear. It most certainly is a dinosaur. Hope this species can recover.
Seems like that this Stork has watched too many Jurassic Park movies and he’s pretending to be the Velociraptor calling its pack mate in the kitchen scene😂
SUB ZER0 This byrd is an anonymus birdus capillarus, wich means they are descendants of the mammarian tribes of israel and the coasts of eureka. Even the Egyptians used to worship them as the Gods of reincarnation and soccer. Look it up if you don't believe me dummy. 🙃😛😜😝😮🤓😐😊
