English: Do You Know
The Heron is symbolic in many cultures. The herons are long-legged freshwater and coastal birds in the family Ardeidae. There are 64 different species of herons that differ in size, color and type of habitat. Herons can be found on each continent except on Antarctica. Almost all species are associated with water, they are essentially non-swimming waterbirds that feed on the margins of lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds and the sea. The average lifespan is around 15 years in the wild and up to 25 years in captivity. Herons can be recognized by their long, S-shaped neck, dagger-like bill and long legs. The smallest species is usually considered the little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) measuring 25–36 centimeters (9.8–14.2 inches) in length, 40–58 centimeters (16–23 inches) across the wings and weighing 59–150 grams (2.1–5.3 ounces). Herons are carnivorous. The diet includes a wide variety of aquatic animals, including fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Many species will also opportunistically take larger prey, including birds and bird eggs, rodents, and more rarely carrion. The most common hunting technique is for the bird to sit motionless on the edge of or standing in shallow water and wait until prey comes within range. Than quickly straightening their S-shaped neck toward the victim. Fish and other prey will be stabbed with sharp bill and swallowed in one piece. |
