The closer we got, the less expected any of the animals were. you started to notice details in them that made them seem even more foreign, exotic, dangerous. And less the creatures of nursery ryhmes and biology books. This "baby" bird (said to be a few months old, by our guide,) was over two feet tall with a deadly beak. Looked reptilian up close. We motored right up to the tree where it was sitting in a giant nest (during our river cruise,) and watched it watch us. It's part of a carniverous bird family that we would later see featsting on a giant dead elephant.
