Physical Characteristics:
Standing tall at around 4 feet and weighing up to 30 pounds, the Kori Bustard is the largest terrestrial bird in Africa. Its plumage is a striking combination of brown, white, and black, with a long, flowing crest and a distinctive black throat pouch. Its signature feature is its long, powerful legs, which allow it to run at speeds of up to 40 mph.
Diet and Habits:
The Kori Bustard is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of plants, insects, and small mammals. It forages primarily on the ground, using its sharp eyes and keen sense of smell to locate food. It is a social bird, often forming flocks of up to 50 individuals.
Social Structure and Reproduction:
Kori Bustards are polygamous birds, with one male typically courting several females. The breeding season for Kori Bustards typically occurs during the spring and summer, when the birds build their nests in shallow depressions on the ground. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs, which typically hatch after around 25-30 days. The chicks are precocial, meaning they are born with their feathers and are able to walk and feed themselves almost immediately. They fledge from the nest after about 6-8 weeks.
Habitat and Conservation Status:
The Kori Bustard is found in a variety of open grasslands and savannas across Africa. While the species is not considered endangered, habitat loss due to human activities, such as deforestation and agriculture, poses a threat to Kori Bustard populations.
