おもしろい事実

Baby storks are born with soft, downy feathers covering their heads, which disappear as they grow.

Their extra-long, sensitive bills can snap shut on fish in less than 25 milliseconds!

They use a "foot-stirring" dance in shallow water to flush out hidden prey!

Wood Storks don't sing; they hiss and clatter their bills to talk to each other!
