This bird is called a Hamerkop, named for its uniquely shaped head which resembles a hammer. Curious as to what it's doing. It's catching frogs but the frog releases a toxin. The bird can't eat the frog with toxins on it so shakes the frog so it releases more toxins, then dips it in water to wash it clean. It will continually do that until the frog has no more toxins to release. Wait for the "FLIP"! Is nature not just incredible! #nature #conservation #wildlifephotography 📷: Rassie Jacobs | Kap

The chick now enjoys a temporary outdoor space inside River Valley Aviary in order to soak up some sun, get fresh air and spend time watching and interacting with other birds. The chick hasn't fully started standing yet, but with practice every day the baby is getting close! 🔉 on for chirps | Jacksonville Zoo and Botanica
