Sushi lives at the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre in Entebbe and was rescued by their team after locals set fire to the wetlands. Our Drive 4 Wildlife project will help to rescue animals such as these and the vehicle we are sending out to Uganda will help to also protect them in the wild 🚙

Thank you so much for watching!

Absolutely incredible bird. Hopefully it's species will not become extinct.

Can't believe I'm 53 years old and still seeing animals I never knew existed. Thanks!

When I was a kid, I though this bird was just a CGI product, but now I know it's real. Truly magnificent creature

[EmpireWrestling]

These things terrify the living shit out of me but the bow and shake is adorable

[rebeccastratton]

I would be honored to bow to this bird. Not in servitude but because of the simple communication that would open him up to me. So very beautifully cool.

[summergivens]

These birds need to be protected at all times and taken care of.

I would absolutely bow to this beautiful majestic bird ! It makes me so angry that only 14 are left in the wetlands, that’s just so tragic for such a beautiful animal !

Shoebill: " hmm some of my ancestors used to eat some of your ancestors but you seem nice. Give me fish please."

[Archaeodrasil]

I don't ever want to live in a world without these beautiful creatures

[MasterMayhem]

When you are welcomed by this bird, you are also a friend. They will allow you to visit their nest and see their babies. It’s quite amazing.

I absolutly adore these birds, it’s always the sweethearts that go endangered

[kroakie]

I don’t know why so many think this bird looks scary. It’s really pretty cute.

[thegrimcritic]

Awww, what a noble and polite dinosaur. ☺️

[wolfbird]

How polite and friendly, it's adorable

[bradwoods]

If they are really down to only 14 of these amazing birds, it might be in their best interest to have a professional group of animal lovers to give those remaining birds a place to mate and raise the actual numbers of these gorgeous angels so that future populations can enjoy their presence! ❤

[Anastashya]

I’d definitely bow to this Shoebill bird. He’s gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰

[taniav]

We as humans just can't get it right.... we endanger everything from our reefs to our animals to our air & forests, even bees !!! Will we ever learn?

[sashs.]

This bird got more manners then most humans. The bowing is cute n he does it back aww

[Ziggyziggy]

What a glorious and prehistoric looking bird/dinosaur!
I sincerely hope this unique bird does not go extinct...
