Sam took these photos while on safari through the northern part of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. No doubt, Sam, you wore khakis, sported a pith helmet, and wielded a muzzle-loaded rifle.
What a morose marabou stork. Those gangly legs don't to seem to lend themselves to comfortable seating.
Look at his compatriots. Have you ever seen a flock of carrion-eaters who looked more ready for trouble than this gaggle? You know what they say: idle beaks (and appetites for decaying flesh) are the devil's tools.
I would hate to be downwind from them. Or upwind, for that matter: dying fauna beware.
Thanks for the photos, Sam. I am jealous of your travels.

Synchronistically, I just came across this today:
Bird-Related Fail
Those legs remind me of a computer stand.
this looks like something from a story. "Suddenly, they saw a group of tall, sinister birdlike creatures with sharp beaks, wearing feathery tuxedo jackets. Waiting."
Totally.
Aw. There needs to be an "Ugly or sad?" category to mirror Cuteoverload! ;)
It doesn't look right, sitting on your elbows like that. He doesn't look well. Poor old mobster Marabou.
