Pühaiibis, Threskiornis aethiopicus aethiopicus

Pühaiibis on tegelikult Aafrika lind, kuid juhtus nii, et 20 aastat tagasi pani hulk iibiseid ühest Taiwani loomaaiast plehku ning nad avastasid, et see saar on väga sobilik elupaik. Tänaseks arvatakse neid linde Taiwani vabas looduses olevat üle 5000 ning juba nuputatakse, kuidas neist vabaneda, sest see võimas iibis on selgelt ohustamas kohalikke liike. Foto koos kahe veisehaigruga sai üles võetud Chiayi maakonnas, Taiwani lääneosas.

Sacred Ibis is actually an African bird but some 20 years ago some ibises escaped from a zoo in Taiwan and they discovered that the island is a perfect habitat. It is estimated that there are over 5000 sacred ibises living in Taiwan and therefore people are already contemplating how to get rid of this large bird as it's a threat to local species. The photo with two cattle egrets was taken in Chiayi county, western Taiwan.
