Thanks, everyone. I was under the impression that people thought it was ugly, according to some descriptions of it on certain sites. I think it's a beautiful bird, also. I love the green & blue around their eyes.

Somewhere in my archives I have a photo of a beautiful bellydancer on stage caught at just the wrong moment... A bit like this wonderful shot of the anhinga.
Fortunately for her I'm an ethical photographer and will never share it.

That looks like someone went full Jurassic Park and cloned an archaeopteryx.

You're right about that, there's something prehistoric looking about it. I think it resembles this prehistoric bird a little.
