![SHOE-BILL BIRD –RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIE](https://ntoroko.go.ug/sites/default/files/styles/slider/public/banner/SHOE-BILL%20BIRD%20%E2%80%93RARE%20AND%20ENDANGERED%20SPECIE.jpg?itok=eyVZ2FRm "The Shoebill, called "Whale-headed Stork" in some older literature, is a unique bird of uncertain affinities. As the old name suggests, it was once thought to be a relative of storks but its habit of flying with neck retracted and powder-down patches suggested an affinity with herons. But skeletal and biochemical evidence now show it is more closely related to pelicans (Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, Ericson et al. 2006). Some (e.g., Sibley & Monroe 1990) reduced it to a subfamily of the Pelecanidae, but their divergence was far back in antiquity. I follow the Elliott (2002) and most recent authorities in retaining it as a unique monotypic family.")
