Swamp King

Mycteria ibis

Yellow-billed storks don't rely on vision to catch their prey. Instead, as soon as a fish, frog, or crustacean touches the inside of their bill, the stork snaps it shut in a record-breaking 25 milliseconds. That reflex is one of the fastest recorded feeding mechanisms in the entire avian world, far faster than the blink of a human eye!
