Just Hanging Out
Taken on a day in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka
Water buffalo graze along streams, lakes and open grassland, tails flicking, jaws moving. Around them struts a small, white egret, with some riding on the cow’s. It’s a familiar sight not just in America, but around the world. It’s a cattle egret and it probably originated on the grasslands of Africa taking advantage of the insects buzzing around the animal herds stirring up the ground.
The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a small, white heron with a short, yellow bill and long legs. Cattle egrets are insectivores, meaning they eat insects. They often follow animals to catch insects that are attracted to them and disturbed by the animals’ movements.
