The black-necked stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) is a tall long-necked wading bird in the stork family. It is a resident species across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia with a disjunct population in Australia. It lives in wetland habitats and certain crops such as rice and wheat where it forages for a wide range of animal prey. Adult birds of both sexes have a heavy bill and are patterned in white and glossy blacks, but the sexes differ in the colour of the iris. In Australia, it is sometimes called a jabiru although that name refers to a stork species found in the Americas. It is one of the few storks that is strongly territorial when feeding. Order: Ciconiiformes, Family: Ciconiidae, Genus: Ephippiorhynchus, Species: Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus (Latham, 1790).
Synonyms:
Mycteria asiatica
Xenorhynchos leucoptera
