About These Birds

オウギワシ

ハーピーワシは世界で最も強力な猛禽類の一つで、ハイイログマの爪ほどの大きさの鉤爪を持つ。パナマの国鳥。大規模な未撹乱の森林の生息地を必要とするため、森林破壊がこの種の最大の脅威。

Shoebill

The shoebill is one of the most sought-after birds for birdwatchers visiting Africa, prized for its prehistoric appearance and massive bill. It can stand motionless for hours before collapsing forward to seize prey in its enormous bill. Despite standing over a meter tall, shoebills weigh relatively little due to their hollow bones.
