Marabou Stork
Marabou Storks can have a wingspan of more than 9 feet. At the Rhino Lodge near Ngorongoro, they were walking on the front lawn and standing on the chimneys of some of the buildings. I found a couple of Marabou flight feathers on one of the lawns, and they are 22 inches long. This Marabou who was standing in front of me spread its wings so that I could see the huge wingspan. The wings are very broad, making a whooshing sound when they fly. One of the Marabous at the lodge found what looked like a small sandwich in a sealed cellophane packet. The Marabou proficiently shook the packet to open it and get the sandwich out, showing that it knew not to eat the cellophane.
