Wild You Were Sleeping Episode 2: Meet the Greater Adjutant Stork | The Quint

Standing at five feet tall with a wingspan of about eight feet, the Greater Adjutant Stork has now become rare but was once found in abundance across south-east Asia. These large-sized carnivorous birds are scavengers within their respective ecosystem, with a unique ability to swallow big bones as a whole, giving them their Assamese name Hargila (har means bone, gila is to swallow). Having fallen prey to human encroachment into wetlands, this endangered bird is now found breeding only in India and Cambodia. Catch more on the Greater Adjutant Stork on ‘Wild You Were Sleeping’ docuseries brought to you by The Habitats Trust, co-produced by Trippintoe Media.

India has a tremendous affinity to animals and nature. India is the only country that has the conservation programs that protect all kinds of animals. Only if we can educate and harmonize people and animals , we can save most of species.
