Rare dinosaur bird

Abou, an extremely rare “dinosaur bird”, is on exhibit for the first time in a UK zoo!

Born and bred in Pairi Daiza Zoo in Belgium, Abou is a shoebill stork that looks like a modern stork but has the pelican family as her nearest related ancestor.

The bill is truly impressive… A living dinosaur raptor?
