The Far Eastern stork is a large bird with white plumage and a black beak. It lives near rivers and swamps of East Asia and hunts for fish and frogs.
The Far Eastern stork differs from the white stork by its completely black beak and darker wings. It is important for nature as a regulator of the population of aquatic animals in marshy areas. The species is endangered and protected.
