Description
The African spoonbill's unique beak evolved to locate prey underwater with low visibility.
To hunt, the bird opens its bill in the water and sweeps it back and forth, snapping at any fish, crustaceans or insects it comes into contact with.
The African spoonbill (Platalea alba) inhabits wetland areas such as marshes, swamps and riverbanks as well as plains and savannas in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
