The marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It breeds in Africa south of the Sahara, often near human habitation, especially landfill sites. It is sometimes called the undertaker bird due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of hair.
