I is for Ibis

The Ibis lives in swaps,wetlands, and marshes all over the world, but they are mostly found in southern areas where there are warmer temperatures. The wet places allow food for the Ibis like fish and plants (they are omnivores after all). The Ibis like to live together in flocks to be safe from predators like Eagles.

Ibis are pretty big, they are about 50 cm - 65 cm tall! Their wing span is about 80 cm - 120 cm long. They can weigh about 0.3 kg - 2 kg! That's about a 1.7kg difference!

Ibis can be black, white, grey, or brown, and can live from 8 to 15 years! That is pretty young! Is it to you? Ibis are very interesting birds, I would very well like to learn more about the Ibis, wouldn't you?
