Marabou Stork

The carcasses of animals fed to the cheetahs in the Kapama Endangered Species Centre, near Pretoria, South Africa, are dumped in an area known as "the graveyard", where they are avidly fought over by flocks of vultures and Marabou Stork. It is a really startling event to witness. This stork was caught on camera taking off with his prize to safer ground.
