Odd couple, a photo from Bushenyi, Western

Photographer's Note

A marabou stork and warthog. You find both of these in large quantities around the campsites in Queen Elizabeth park. The marabou storks are unbelievably large and ugly. They are not only found in the park, but in most of the cities on Uganda. The warthogs are not much better looking.

You managed to arrange a meeting between these two animals, which, according to human standards, are not vey beautiful. Anyway, the marabu seems to have made big effeorts, putting its ceremony jacket ... Interesting rendez-vous... If they decide to procreate, I am afraid about the result ...

A fine composition but remarks about the animals' supposed ugliness are irrelevant. Who is to say, after all? To most other animals, we humans must look incredibly ugly, like plucked chickens. Think about it. Don't be a speciesist
