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.
