Marabou Stork with “air bags” in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania
Marabou Stork with “air bags.” In adults, this reddish "balloon" hangs on the throat. It's an air sack used for buoyancy during flight and an extension of it's digestion system. They are sometimes called “Undertaker Birds” because of their somber demeanor.
