	Verspreiding

Die skoenbek (Balaeniceps rex), ook bekend as die walviskopooievaar en skoenbekooievaar, is 'n groot langbeen-waadvoël. Sy naam kom van sy enorme skoenvormige snawel. Die voël het 'n ietwat ooievaaragtige algehele vorm en is voorheen geklassifiseer as 'n ooievaar in die orde Ciconiiformes; maar genetiese bewyse plaas dit saam met pelikane en reiers in die Pelecaniformes.^[3]^[4]^[5] Volwasse voëls is hoofsaaklik grys terwyl jong voëls meer bruin van kleur is. Die voël leef in tropiese Oos-Afrika in die groot moerasse van Suid-Soedan tot Zambië.
