"The Wattled Crane, Bugeranus carunculatus is a large bird found in Africa south of the Sahara Desert. It is monotypical for its genus.

Interesting bird, eh?
Don't ask me about any similarity, with anything.

    Aaah, I love cranes. The national bird of South Africa is the blue crane. Why do they put the stamps on the front? Is that what they do in Malawi or just because these are special edition releases?
