Waldrapp (Northern bald ibis)


Filename: 05117085ied.jpg

Northern Bald Ibis, Hermit Ibis, or Waldrapp, Geronticus eremita, is a large bird found in barren semi-desert or rocky habitats, often but not always close to running water.

This is a large glossy black ibis, 70-80 cm long with a 120-135 cm wingspan. It has an unfeathered red face and head and a long decurved red bill. It breeds colonially on cliffs in rocky deserts in the Middle East and Africa north of the Sahara, laying 2-3 eggs. Its food is insects and other small creatures. It was once much widespread across the Middle East, northern Africa and even the European Alps, though it went exinct there over 400 years ago.

The Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita), also known as the Hermit Ibis or Waldrapp, is a striking bird with glossy black plumage that exhibits bronze-green and violet iridescence. It stands out with its unfeathered red face and head, and a long, curved red bill. Inhabiting open areas such as grasslands and rocky mountains, Geronticus eremita feeds on insects and small animals. Once widespread across the Middle East, northern Africa, and Europe, the Northern Bald Ibis is now endangered due to habitat loss and other threats. Conservation efforts are actively being pursued to protect and reintroduce this unique bird to its former habitats.
