Visual description of the organism:
shape: The shape of the body of the wood stork looked so similar to the ball of the football for me. the beack was a
triangle shape.
size: they are usually 40-44 inches in length and 33.45 inches tall.
coloration: Its head was a little brown with no plumage with a long red beak. The body is mainly white and
it had long legs that are also the same color as a beak.
(if present) reproductive structures: could not recognize

At least one characteristic is present in the observation and
is a defining characteristic of the taxonomic group to which the
organism belongs. The wood stork is a big bird that can be found in the swamp. They usually live in tropical
regions with high humidity. They are white and seemed so skinny to me. I think a really characteristics of them
are their red oing legs and red long beak
