OmilenOn a trip to Japan, I went to visit a botanical and zoological garden. I met this incredible bird that looked me directly in the eyes, with its gaze it inspires respect and a certain fear, but in reality it is a harmless bird, in fact, it is in a very vulnerable state of conservation.<br> This bird is the shoebill (Balaeniceps rex). It is native to Africa, measures between 1.50 and 2.0 meters tall, and is a worthy heir of the Mesozoic dinosaurs.<br> Although time has passed since that tremendous experience, I am still impressed by his gaze.<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/birds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/myphotos?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#myphotos</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/exoticanimals?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exoticanimals</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/trips?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trips</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/memories?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memories</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kobe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kobe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/japan?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#japan</a>
