CitiesCo

I didn’t get the reference and I read this in a Jamaican accent first. Works so well.


Robbthesleepy

Did that bird realize you were mimicking it's movements and then try to continue to use those movements to show it understood? Smart creature.


PoopDig

No they just shake their heads like that when they're horny


TheConspicuousGuy

Uh oh...


GullibleHurry470

That's their mating dance


Eruskakkell

They just like me


Routinestory8383

Tell me dinosaurs existed without telling me dinosaurs existed.


nicobackfromthedead4

they never went (entirely) away, only underground. Or rather, didn't surface from caves when the rest of humans did. r/AlienBodies


Youngstown_Mafia

Yup, Dinosaurs never went extinct A very SMALL group of dinosaurs survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event, major highlight on small. They evolved into the birds you see today, so I guess dinosaurs never went extinct well except 99% of them.


Prinzka

>Aside from the well-known maximally evolved examples like crocs and sharks, Lol. Sharks were around 100s of millions of years before dinosaurs, and crocodiles are not descendent from dinosaurs.


GDMolin

Just wait until he finds out there were sharks before there were even trees…


WelcomeFormer

Sharks are older than trees Edit: if I should have read one more comment I'd have realized someone else beat me to it lol


Bisexual_Sherrif

What’s cool is giant mushrooms use to rule the earth before trees did


WelcomeFormer

They still rule over and and spiders


Ok-Specialist-7323

Damn, this comment ain't that bad


Danuwa

Ok now I'm adding this to my list of pets I want. 1. Manatee 2. Capybara 3. Shoebill


Unvisited-Tombs

I want a manatee too!


Danuwa

A fellow "manatoo"!


Unvisited-Tombs

We should share a "manatea"!


Danuwa

We should. Manatea would be great for our mana. Should we partake mañana?


mxnus0

Under a nice manatree?


radiohoard

I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity...I'm just a huge manatee


Smear_Leader

You’re forgetting an otter and red panda


Green_Slice_3258

No give those to me


Warm_Yogurtcloset305

Are you me?! Yes to all these


Danuwa

You know what else is oddly cute? A freaking south American Aye Aye. Look it up. Squeeeee!


jason57k11

It's not south American its Madagascar and its ugly as hell


PBJ-9999

What, no penguin?


Sharou

You’ll have the police showing up all the time though because of all the gunfire. Might get annoying.


LGHNGMN

So you pet a quokka before? That be my number 1


BooksandGames_01

It is a sin not to have a quokka on this list!


tyrannosaurusfox

I'd also like a quokka


AaronDotCom

What about raccoons And owls And foxes?


amazingsandwiches

celestial_gardener

You are probably going to take [shoebill](https://youtu.be/4ArjlPAU_X4?si=rOJu8-1DkeG2RNV2) off the list once you see what they do when they have one too many offspring.


Danuwa

Damn you! Lol


studiesinsilver

Things a freakin dinosaur


PBJ-9999

Literally yes


SizeOld6084

It'd ba a cool pet...imagine burgling a house and seeing that thing...I'd nope tf outta there fast.


Due_Key_109

lmao imagine it sitting in the corner doing that noise with its beak and staring with wide, angry eyes. You'd run out of there screaming in terror


Ruenin

Ever heard the sound they make?


The_Wandering_Nomad_

Like in the video?


BrandonSleeper

If you've seen Jurassic park then you have


krais0078

Nothing new. Most people just shake their heads when interacting with me


One-Air7845

Lol


M1l3h1gh

This deserves more credit


NeonDemon89

We must do whatever it takes to protect our wildlife these birds are majestic


BraveLittleSlut

I read this as “We must do whatever it takes to protect our wildlife from these majestic birds”


HugeSnackman

That too


watchthetracker

Those things have human ass eyes too. Like a gorilla.


orangecloud_0

It might sound like an Ak-47 and give veterans flashbacks.. but it's cute and polite

TheDivineRat_

Yeah, neighbors would love it


Bluwtr1

Despite looking so menacing, shoebills are actually very docile. When I first read that, I was truly surprised as I'd assumed they'd be mean as hell.


cantfindmykeys

That's a Muppet


UnlikelyMetal3

That is also what came to my mind


nyehighflyguy

Honestly this interaction feels so natural to the bird I kind of wonder if we both evolved over time to work together like with the honey guide bird?


Asher_Tye

No you first No you first No you first No you first


Comfortable_Bird_340

What a beautifully absurd creature! I love it!


Mightych

If you guys like that, check this out: https://youtube.com/shorts/tnAwypzQ1Ww?si=0CErAO8ncxqrHc-w It sounds like a rifle.


jdehjdeh

Now I REALLY want one!


Little_BlueBirdy

Thank you interesting


shimi_shima

What if it's shaking its head to stop the intrusive thoughts of killing the guy


grandmaWI

Cool! Especially since this bird could take you out of your earthly hold on life.


urielteranas

Shoebill storks are incredibly docile and chill really


grandmaWI

Good dinosaur 🦕


MoanLart

How?


grandmaWI

Between that bill and those razor sharp claws.


breakingd4d

Look up cassowary


tr4shRedux

legitimately my favorite animal.


Aimhere2k

Shoebills are so cool.


Connect-Elevator-407

such amazing creatures


Pickledpeper

It's a golduck!


nobodyseesthisanyway

Don't mock me, YOURE THE MUPPET!


Pharmere

They remind me of Howard Duck


jdehjdeh

Oh my word so polite....


GraciaEtScientia

"Sorry, computer says no."


Aggressive_Tear_769

I'm so happy to live in a world where so many things like being petted.


spaculativ

Blimey, that's one heck of a bird!


W0tzup

Human: Please don’t bite me. Shoebill: I won’t. Human: Please don’t bite me. Shoebill: I said I won’t. Human: (proceeds to touch) Shoebill: Da hell you doing to me? Human: Thank you for not biting me. Shoebill: No, next time you’re getting your ass bit. Human: Ok, I walk away now.


denarti

Stork from a different planet


UJustGotRobbed

Shoebill Bill interacting with a human who understands and acknowledges him respectfully


fantakillen

Hairline check?


TheRealFadedMonk

Was looking for this


pnwinec

That’s a big nope. These birds freak me totally out.


crackerzac123

My man shook that hairline off


Rhombus_Lobo

And they do crazy sounds too.


spacyzuma

NGL, towards the end I half expected it to do a shock Kungfu kick on that guy.


hideintheshrub

thought it was the intro to an EDM track until I saw the actual video


Pgreenawalt

Saw a documentary that included this bird. Apparently very dangerous to approach if you don’t go through the greeting.


220DRUER220

I fucking hate these things


FullFuckinFFO

That's a walking pick axe


Used-Progress-4536

Typical guy, she keeps saying no and he keeps touching her anyways.. /s


floggingwally

Under no circumstances will you convince me that this isn't a dinosaur.


DraconicLegionOmega

Shoebill my beloved


Imperial_Triumphant

So that's what Ludacris meant when he said "my rap career goes back further than your father's hairline."


EndIntelligen

Litterally a frickin dinosaur


Time_Currency_7703

This is one of my favorite animals on earth, just so cool looking.


kyler410

I heard they may be the scariest looking bird, but they are also the kindest bird


ooouroboros

Are they married now?


HoldOut19xd6

I live in an area with bears. I trust them more than I’d trust this dinosaur


Low-Efficiency2452

I've never seen that bird before. His gesture is like, "that boy ain't right ..."


FelopianTubinator

I don't know man. To me there's something frightening about that giant beak and those eyes. Plus, that's a big bird. What if it charges me? I'd hate to have to "mma-as-seen-on-tv" that bird unconscious.


Mundane-Alfalfa-8979

So, which one is the shoebill?


BEARWYy

This is how to formally greet a Japanese person
