Greater Adjutant Stork

Leptotilos dubius

Description:

On A Cross ... With Height upto 5 feet and Wing-span reaching more than 8 feet ... they are real giants ... Their number in the world ... is less than the no. of Tigers in the wild ... Current estimates ( 2008 ) suggest that there are only 800-1200 mature individuals left in the world ...

Habitat:

Woodland with a waterbody

Notes:

The way things are ... ... these Giant birds require only a gentle push ... ... mind it not a shove ... ... a mere push from Magnanimous Humanity to join the ranks of Dodo Passenger Pigeon and Dinos... In the marvelous realm of Extinction ... And then ... No one shall bother them
