   Ephippiorhynchus is a genus of large storks also known as Jabiru. As of present, two known species exist under this genus: the Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) found in South Asia and Australia, and the Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) native to sub-Saharan Africa. These storks are known for their striking physical features and long lifespan, often reaching up to 30 years in the wild.

1. Ephippiorhynchus

   Ephippiorhynchus is a small genus of storks. It contains two living species only, very large birds more than 140 cm tall with a 230–270 cm wingspan. Both are mainly black and white, with huge colourful, mainly red and black bills. The sexes of these species are similarly plumaged, but differ in eye colour. The members of this genus are sometimes called "jabirus", but this properly refers to a close relative from Latin America. The species are: ⁕Saddle-billed Stork, Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis of sub-Saharan Africa ⁕Black-necked Stork, Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus of tropical Asia A prehistoric relative, Ephippiorhynchus pakistanensis, has been described from Late Miocene fossils found in Pakistan. At about the same time, another now-extinct species occurred in eastern to central Africa. These large wading birds breed in marshes and other wetlands, building a large, deep stick nest in a tree. Like most storks, they fly with the neck outstretched, not retracted like a heron; in flight, they present a strange shape, with the head and large bill somewhat drooping down. They are silent except for bill-clattering at the nest. Ephippiorhynchus storks, like most of their relatives, feeds mainly on fish, frogs and crabs, but also on young birds, and other land vertebrates. They move in a deliberate and stately manner as they hunt, in a similar way to the larger heron.
