A Stork and a Crocodile Fishing Together

The Yellow-billed Stork (Mycteria ibis) occurs in Africa south of the Sahara. It prefers wetlands, shallow lakes and mudflats and is often seen fishing in drying river pools. It feeds mainly on small fish that is catches and swallows whole, sometimes tossing its prey into the air and before catching and swallowing it. Yellow-billed Stork often fish open-billed, with one wing spread, stirring the silt with its foot to flush prey. This Stork was fishing in Sunset Dam, Kruger Park when two Nile Crocodiles moved close to it. The larger Nile Crocodile moved close to it, blocking Tilapia fish from escaping from the stork. Several large Tilapia were disturbed by the stork and jumped over the crocodile’s body – none were caught by either animal, and they were probably too big for the bird to swallow.
