Tag: Kori Bustard

Heaviest living flying thing (#7 in Namibia single-image series)

 

On average, this (contested) title probably rightfully belongs to males of a species widespread in southern Africa: Ardeotis kori – the Kori Bustard.

They commonly weigh 18 kilograms apiece.

The so-called “World Wide Web” is in fact more than a tad Northern Hemispere-centric/ USA-centric/ Eurocentric; I strongly suspect that Africa has the biggest bustards.
