About These Birds
Greater Adjutant
145–150 cm, wingspan 210–250 cm. Enormous; naked red head; huge ivory bill; large pendant neck pouch. Endangered; fewer than 1,000 birds remain in South and Southeast Asia. Breeds in Assam (India) and Cambodia. Feeds on fish, carrion, and small animals in wetlands and rubbish dumps.
Mandschurenstorch
Der Mandschurenstorch ist eine der am stärksten gefährdeten Storchenarten; in freier Wildbahn leben noch weniger als 3.000 Individuen. Einst war er in ganz Ostasien weit verbreitet, ging jedoch durch die Trockenlegung von Feuchtgebieten und den Einsatz von Pestiziden dramatisch zurück. Wiederansiedlungsprogramme in Japan und Korea konnten bemerkenswerte Erfolge erzielen.
