- The Marabou Stork (Leptoptilos Crumenifer) is a massive, unusual-looking wading bird native to sub-Saharan Africa
- Often nicknamed the "undertaker bird" due to its cloak-like dark wings, skinny white legs, and a tuft of white hair-like feathers on its back, it is widely considered one of the largest flying birds on Earth
- Stand up to 5 feet tall with a wingspan over 10 feet
- While not in southern Arizona (yet!), they can be seen at the Phoenix Zoo
