What a face!

Vienna

I found this picture via Boing Boing, and just had to blog this one. I believe this is a Dodo bird, but the beak looks a bit different that what I saw in illustrations. Doesn't he have a fabulous face? He is part of the collection at the natural history museum in Vienna. A visitor recently posted some photos of the displays on Flickr. Some interesting specimens. Click on the photo to see more.

this is a shoebill, which primarily lives in the sudan. Great pic!
