The CollectA Shoebill figure depicts the Shoebill's most distinctive characteristic: its large, bulbous bill, which resembles a shoe, with its broad, curved shape and deep hook at the end. The figure showcases the Shoebill's tall, statuesque body, covered in gray plumage with a slightly bluish tint, and the long legs that support its height. The head is depicted with a stern, almost prehistoric expression, and the eyes are positioned to convey the bird’s keen observational skills.
The CollectA Shoebill measures approximately 2.2" long by 3.8" tall.

The Shoebill, also known as the whale-headed stork, is a large bird found in the swamps and wetlands of central tropical Africa. The Shoebill is known for its massive bill, which can reach up to 10 inches in length. This bill is not only large but also powerful, enabling the Shoebill to catch and consume a variety of prey, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals.
The Shoebill stands at an impressive height of up to 55 inches. Its plumage is predominantly gray, with darker markings on the wings and tail. The bird's legs are long and sturdy, adapted for wading through the dense, swampy vegetation of its habitat. The Shoebill's eyes are large and positioned to provide excellent binocular vision, aiding in its hunting precision.
