They do look like a regular stork infected by a zombie virus. But they are scavengers and we know how important scavengers are for the ecosystem... so we cherish them all the same. From a distance.
from a distance indeed! Hell no IM NOT getting anywhere near that bird no matter how cool it looks/acts, it is very scary........ I wonder if they attack people when they are seriously injured?..

A very similar bird is available in Asia too. In the 19th century, they were prevalent in the city of Calcutta, where they were referred to as the "Calcutta adjutant" and included in the coat of arms for the city.

I'm from Florida so when I think of storks I think of wood storks which are not exactly on par with the baby bringing image either.... Literally dinosaurs with poop that strips paint
I'm surprised that you didn't mention their beaks. Think of how tough it is for us to bite through raw meat and they don't seem to have teeth and their beaks are so long that the leverage must be horrible...
2:28 What about the Andean Condor? Their wingspan can reach almost 11ft across and they are listed as the bird with the 3rd largest largest wingspan, not the Marabou Stork.
It's probably just me, but I find these guys hilarious! Also Vultures are my favorite birds, I wasn't aware that there were some storks like this too!. They're just so unusual (although in the animal kingdom, not really, I know), but I find the life of (and important purposes of) "bald head" scavengers to be fascinating!
It stands to reason that there are some storks like vultures given that new world vultures are most closely related to storks. It turns out that new world and old world vultures are not so closely related, but rather share a convergent evolution.
@@neurodeviant New World Vultures aren’t closely related to storks, this has been debunked by more recent phylogenetic analyses. New World Vultures are core landbirds (Telluraves), and their closest living relatives are species in the Order Accipitriformes, which includes ospreys, the Secretarybird, eagles, hawks, and Old World Vultures.
Would it be possible for a future episode to talk about firehawks ? It's kinda mentioned here with the fire^^ Also great episode:D love these birds that clap their beaks to communicate
I would love to see a video on the Fisher! I saw one in southern MN a year ago and have been wanting to know more! It seemed totally unafraid of me. Love the vids! Keep it up!
I can respect their dedicated parenting, that's one of the endearing things about them. Also the blue eyes were honestly very pretty. They seem to play an important role.
I wonder when you would be featuring the Peafowl. It is so vibrant and captivating..... Unless it is a White Peacock... Then it is so simple and captivating 😅
Please please PLEASE do a video about ratites next!!! Kiwis are my favorite animal, followed closely by Cassowaries, and I'd love to see a an Animalogic video covering this weird class of birds!
I find it really odd that before that little clip in the intro I had never seen a dead giraffe before. It's one of the few megafauna (unlike whales and elephants) that has sort of been immortalised for me through public media, as they have similar aesthetics to creatures like tallnecks from horizon and reefbacks from subnautica. The video was super interesting and factual aside from this, but this is what really struck me to begin with. Either way, thank you so much for making this fun little documentary!
My school is in front of the city zoo and they have these birds free flight in the area ( because the zoo is also next to a river) . So ugh, these things are often seen circling on top of our school rooftop, perching menancingly on the trees on our school, they’re massive. Me and my friends are often jokingly compared them to our chem teacher for how much they look like him lmao.
I love the variety in birds, from waddly penguins, to hummingbirds, to these guys. I love how their heads make them look like they were the ones who started the fire and accidentally burned off their head feathers in the process 😅 Had to edit to add that the one with the blue eyes, wow. His eyes looked so pretty. Is there a difference between males and females or age when it comes to their eye color?
For a creature having no vocal cords, that sound they make is extremely distinct.
Marcus also does that
Its probably as close to hearing prehistoric dinosaurs aa we'll get.
Exactly cuz they have no vocal cords
It sounds exactly like the shoebill.
I think the sound they make is calming
They do look like a regular stork infected by a zombie virus.

I absolutely love the out of nowhere horror vibe at the end. 11 out of 10 would recommend.
It was 11 out of 11... but a voter mysteriously disappeared when one of those storks flew by... ... ...
try reading Marabou Stork Nightmares. it's a novel by the author of Trainspotting. it's not a horror novel or anything, but it's still very dark.
"Marabu Storks are social birds--"
Pictured- Marabu deciding which flamingo is taking a trip to heaven's flock. 💀😂
We need to talk more about Bees using carcasses! I didn't know that was a thing until recently!!
It's in the Bible too 😉

Those are probably specific solitary bees. Not European bees from video.

Cool comment
@@im_the_end oh hello
I love marabous they are goofy
I got to work with one in captivity and they are amazing birds! It was unpredictable, but had a vulture's curiosity
I hope the Philippine Eagle would be featured on this channel soon.
They already featured it long time ago when they talked about eagles
Check it bro look at the videos. I'm sure it's in there
Then you will say proud to be pinoy. Phil no.1
They already did.
They already have
4:30
I love how you just nonchalantly throw Flamingo's into that list and don't even stop to acknowledge at how mildly disturbing that is.
Please correct me if I am mistaken, but do you have any citations regarding the Marabou stork having the biggest wingspan after the albatross and the great white pelican? I thought the Andean condor and some other Pelican species still have it beat
did a quick search it seems the Marabou stork has the same wingspan as the Andean Condor.

Sadly they are endengered.
Nobody:
That one old guy in the locker room: 0:32
Lmao
Out of all of the series on this channel this one has to be my favorite.
The older I get, the more beauty I see in all living things
And not a single mention on how Sweden's no.1 chocolate brand is literally named Marabou after these storks, and even have tiny storks on some of their chocolate pieces.
I love the sound they make
Like a vulture with a twist!
I like how they showed the first thing the marabou stork was eating was the first stork they showed.
I'm from Florida so when I think of storks I think of wood storks which are not exactly on par with the baby bringing image either.... Literally dinosaurs with poop that strips paint
I’ve never seen something so ridiculous in my life. I love it.
If you want to an even creepier perception of these avian miscreant , read Marabou Stork Nightmare by Irving Welsh (author of Trainspotting).
That sounds they make are incredible
Such beautiful blue eyes!
I like to imagine that all the extinct dinosaurs has giant phallic flaps of skin hanging down from their necks.
I grew up and still live in Africa, and my grandmother was always terrified that one would swoop down and take us away.
Other storks: represents life and love*
This stork: *Arson*
the marabou stork is what i imagine when you say stork, but only because i grew up on Animal Planet before it turned into a reality TV channel
I'm surprised that you didn't mention their beaks. Think of how tough it is for us to bite through raw meat and they don't seem to have teeth and their beaks are so long that the leverage must be horrible...
Avian dinosaurs don’t chew with teeth - they chew with rocks in their gizzards, inherited from non-avian dinosaurs and crocodilians.
@@DonnaBarrHerself teeth? Never heard of her. I eat dinosaur style
2:28 What about the Andean Condor? Their wingspan can reach almost 11ft across and they are listed as the bird with the 3rd largest largest wingspan, not the Marabou Stork.
5 feet tall?! what a unit!

Marabou Storks are so metal!
I’ll be working with a marabou stork at my new zookeeping position. I think they look awesome and can’t wait to meet the one I’ll be helping care for.
That eerie music at the end was on point! Lovely video about another new animal.

Also great episode:D love these birds that clap their beaks to communicate
Could you please do an episode on Emus? I have 9 emus at my farm and would love to see all the information.
I would love to see a video on the Fisher! I saw one in southern MN a year ago and have been wanting to know more! It seemed totally unafraid of me. Love the vids! Keep it up!
This bird just lacks some head feathers; guess those that think these are unsightly have never seen goats of Damascus.
That was the best outro in the history of this channel.
And people tell me dinosaurs went extinct.
only non-avian ones sorry = p
How about an episode about Juan Fernández firecrown? It is like total oposite to this episode, being so pretty and rare and innocent!
"5 feet tall with a 3 meter wingspan" - only Canadians can visualize this mixing of imperial and metric
when a vulture and a stork have a baby
You should do an episode on the hooded pitohui, a poisonous bird. Quite an interesting video topic.
I was drinking water when she said that marabou storks look like "Creepy goth loners." Needless to say, I'm recovering from a choking attack. XD
This a bird I'd actually travel to see.
he'll yea love this strokes
Big man in the sky must've knocked back a few before he went and made this one up
I can respect their dedicated parenting, that's one of the endearing things about them. Also the blue eyes were honestly very pretty. They seem to play an important role.
The music had me feeling like I was watching a Tim Burton film.. hell yeah
Can you please talk about the *Vampire Finch* . I'm really curious about those blood-sucking birds 😲🐦
Brilliant clip! Thank you!
All the best from Sweden.
Thanks Larz! Back at you from Canada! 🇨🇦
Ok but why is the music a bop
I SAW A GROUP OF THEM ATTENDING A WEDDING CEREMONY AND THEY WERE DOING THE CHA CHA.
It’s ironic that such a creepy animal produces some of the most beautiful feathers in fashion
They are the cleaning service of the forest, and or plains.
Love these beautiful bald birds.
Marabou Storks are the coolest birds. I have a new favorite bird. Marabou Storks. 😀
I love Marabou Storks because there definite proof birds are dinosaurs
I got scared for a second I thought you guys weren’t gonna upload
I want there to be a second channel called paleo logic and they talk about prehistoric megafauna
Do I have news for you! ua-cam.com/video/7zucD8u9DaI/v-deo.html
@@animalogic that’s truly awesome!
I always wanted one of these birds as a kid 😅 Still sorta still want one
I wonder when you would be featuring the Peafowl. It is so vibrant and captivating..... Unless it is a White Peacock... Then it is so simple and captivating 😅
Next species topic: Blackpoll warbler? Migrates from Alaska to New England and then across the ocean to Brazil. Such a tiny bird going so far
Okay, these might be my new favorite birds. They're SO COOL!!!
Shoebills are also crazy and fit in with this stork
Dude the little jackal charging at 6:31 is possibly one of the cutest things ever.
Your videos are very informative and interesting. I'm a frequent viewer.
I loved the narration, the creepy music and jokes , specially the ending 😂 keep it up
They're amazing!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Do a noddy or petrel next!
Five. Feet. TALL? I would indeed pass away if one walked up on me.
There is no ugly bird but this one is nightmare fuel
Please do a video on Steamer Ducks. I love those hyper-aggressive waterfowl.
Oh shoot there goes the air nation.
Marabou storks are the best thing to ever exist. We should be honoured to be graced by it´s mere presence.
they have really cool eyes
they're kind of beautiful in their own kind of way
"Australia! No!"
"What i did this time?"
"Oh, its the Tradition"

scary looking bird. looks vicious
Interesting title. Got my attention
Presumably, poor little, innocent human delivery babies were dropped into the inferno for later consumption?
The have a similar appearance to the Wood Stork.
Do a video on the Black-crowned Night Heron or Northern Shrike
This bird is nightmare fuel, it looks like a vulture and a crane went on had the horizontal monster mash..
