Red-naped Ibis
Pseudibis papillosa
- epik
- 65 km/h
- Risiko rendah
A walking inkblot of the Indian plains, striding through stubble fields with a scarlet badge of bare skin on the back of its head. Loud, lanky, and unmistakable against the dust.
- Populasi
- Not numerically quantified globally; widespread and not believed to be declining rapidly overall, though locally declining where wetlands are converted to agriculture
- Habitat
- Freshwater wetlands (lakes, marshes, riverbeds) and adjoining dry open country including irrigated farmland, fallow fields, villages and towns; unlike most ibises it is not strongly wetland-dependent and favors dry fields, avoiding dense forest
- Fakta menarik
- Known historically as the "planter's friend," the red-naped ibis was valued by indigo cultivators in British India for its appetite for crop-damaging crickets and grasshoppers.
- Sebaran
- Indian subcontinent plains: resident and locally common across Pakistan, India (Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gangetic plain, extending into southern India) and Nepal, with occasional/vagrant records in Bangladesh; absent from Sri Lanka and from forested regions; non-migratory
- Makanan
- Omnivorous — insects (beetles, grasshoppers, crickets), crustaceans (prawns, crabs), frogs and small reptiles/vertebrates, carrion (including roadkill), scorpions, garbage-dump scavenging, plus grain and crops such as groundnuts
