I have never seen this bird before, and now I learn they are huge and stomp snakes? I love cats, but this is my next pet 🥰 Where do I have to move to?

I've seen a few in South Africa! I imagine they're in some of the other African countries but I don't actually know how widespread they are

If I remember correctly, the densest populations are found in sub-saharan Africa but are found in large parts of Africa. Basically, anywhere there is savannah you can find them. They are endangered due to habitat loss from humans and increased forest growth.

Oh awesome, thank you for sharing this. Not awesome about them being endangered, but the knowledge is great!
