The jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) is a large stork found in the Americas from Mexico to Argentina, except west of the Andes. It is most common in the Pantanal region of Brazil and the Eastern Chaco region of Paraguay. It is the only member of the genus Jabiru. The name comes from a Tupi–Guaraní language and means "swollen neck". The name jabiru has also been used for two other birds of a distinct genus: the Asian black-necked stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), commonly called "jabiru" in Australia; and sometimes also for the saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) of Sub-Saharan Africa. The Ephippiorhynchus are believed to be the jabiru's closest living cousins, indicating an Old World origin for the species. Order: Ciconiiformes, Family: Ciconiidae, Genus: Jabiru, Species: Jabiru mycteria (Lichtenstein, 1819).
