This bird is famous for a legend that claims it once cleaned the teeth of crocodiles.
The Egyptian Plover inhabits sandy riverbanks and islands across parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It feeds on insects, worms, and other small creatures found along the water’s edge, often running swiftly across hot sand in search of prey.
A graceful traveler of great rivers, wrapped in one of the most enduring wildlife stories ever told.
