About African Openbill (Anastomus lamelligerus)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Pelicans
  • Family: Storks

Observations: One animal was still alive after 7 years in captivity (Brouwer et al. 1992). Considering the longevity of similar species, however, maximum longevity is likely underestimated and more detailed studies necessary.
