A aka a sits in a Cafe in Paris sipping a latte while gazing at a drawing of a Death Pelican, in a line drawing, all comprised of broad (3mm) lines in bright yellow ink, over drawn with a narrow (.07mm) purple pen. Where there is overlap, it appears as if there are red lines defining the birds and table. Where the purple lines do not interact with yellow they are distinctively purple, appearing as if three colours are used in the drawing. more in the description...

THIS IS THE SHOEBILL STORK!
and this is not a joke!

This is one of the ones on the close to dinosaur scale…you can really see how birds descended from dinosaurs here.

Birds evolved from a group of meat-eating dinosaurs called theropods.

A close-up look at the most prehistoric looking bird alive today, the Shoebill Stork.⁣

At their largest, they are 5 ft (1.5 m) tall with a wingspan of 8.5 ft (2.6 m).⁣

Their call is a series of loud popping noises which sounds like a machine gun.⁣

They flap their wings the slowest of any bird and also poop on themselves to cool off when they get too hot.⁣

There are only around 5000 - 8000 or so remaining in the world.⁣
