Shoebill

With an approximately 1.2-meter body 

and weighing approximately five 

kilograms, shoebills are birds that are 

large indeed. They have huge beaks 

and are known to be able to remain 

almost completely still for hours when 

taking aim at their prey. They live in 

marshy areas of eastern and central 

Africa or in neighboring prairies. They 

eat fish, frogs, and snakes, and although 

rare, they also eat small animals such as 

young water birds as well. They are 

excellent at flying and possess a 

wingspan measuring approximately two 

meters. 

The scale of this papercraft is 

approximately 1/4 of the original size 

of a shoebill.
