Jabiru
The jabiru ( or ; (ラテン語: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".
==Etymology and origins==
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. In particular, Gardiner's Egyptian hieroglyph G29, believed to depict an ''E. senegalensis'', is sometimes labeled "jabiru" in hieroglyph lists. The ''Ephippiorhynchus'' are believed to be the jabiru's closest living cousins, indicating an Old World origin for the species.〔Hancock & Kushan, ''Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World''. Princeton University Press (1992), ISBN 978-0-12-322730-0〕
The proposed Late Pleistocene fossil stork genus ''Prociconia'' from Brazil might actually belong in ''Jabiru''. A fossil species of jabiru was found in the early Pliocene Codore Formation near Urumaco, Venezuela (Walsh & Sánchez 2008).
In Portuguese, the bird is called ''jabiru'', ''jaburu'', ''tuiuiu'', ''tuim-de-papo-vermelho'' ("red-necked ''tuim''", in Mato Grosso) and ''cauauá'' (in the Amazon Basin). The name ''tuiuiu'' is also used in southern Brazil for the wood stork (''Mycteria americana'').
