The shoebill stork is not a dinosaur, but it is a bird, and birds are technically considered the last living group of dinosaurs, known as avian dinosaurs. The shoebill stork's prehistoric-looking appearance may lend itself to comparisons with dinosaurs, but it's important to note that while birds evolved from a group of two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods, the ancestors of birds and the shoebill diverged from other dinosaurs millions of years ago.
