In this video we are going to see the White Heron or Great Egret.
Which has the scientific name Ardea Alba.
A pelicaliforme type of bird that can be found practically all around the world.
In this case it was recorded in South America, in Brazil.
Today, luckily, it is not a species facing extinction.
Even though it had been hunted, mostly in the United States and North America...
...so that their feathers could be used in making hats.
The fine and long beak it has allows it to hunt for fish, which are its primary source of food.
Although it also eats other small birds and reptiles, frogs, and other amphibians.
Using in all cases its beak as a harpoon.
Since it is a long and sharp beak.
