One of Africa’s most elegant and beautiful birds, as they’re one of the largest living storks in the world and are only found in Sub-Saharan Africa.

One of my favorite animal shots I've ever taken - that should be a Fischer's Turaco (Tauraco fischeri) in the background.

Hey there! There is a stork in the Bronx Zoo’s Jungleworld exhibit that I just cannot seem to ID. Most forums about the exhibit say there are painted storks here, but this to me looks nothing like a painted stork. Thanks!
