Openbill stork : ウィキペディア英語版 | Openbill stork
The openbill storks or openbills are two species of stork (family ''Ciconiidae'') in the genus ''Anastomus''. They are large wading birds characterized by large bills, the mandibles of which do not meet except at the tip. This feature develops only in the adults. Both species feed predominantly on molluscs. The roof of the upper bill is fringed with plate like structures ("lamellae") in the African openbill, but absent in the Asian species. The two species of openbill storks are: *Asian openbill (''A. oscitans''), a resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Southeast Asia. *African openbill (''A. lamelligerus'',) a resident breeder in Africa and Madagascar. ==References==
