The marabou stork has all sorts of ugly going on. Look at that nearly bald head. Look at that enormous beak. These birds stand at over 4 1/2 feet, with wingspans that can reach 9 feet! Oh, and that's not all. It feeds primarily on carrion - always a guaranteed ugly-maker. And the clincher: it has the nasty habit of squirting its own exrement on its own legs.
Thank goodness they live in Africa. In terms of ugly, this bird has nothing on the condor.
