The Stork in Ancient Egypt

The White Stork, Abdim's Stork, Yellow-billed Stork, Black Stork, African Open-billed Stork, Marabou Stork, and the Saddle-bill Stork were all known to the ancient Egyptians, and were sometimes pictured in ancient Egyptian paintings and reliefs of wildlife along the Nile and in the marshes. Storks were occasionally mummified.
