<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="bubulcus-ibis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Bubulcus ibis, the cattle egret, is a cosmopolitan heron of the family Ardeidae with fossil records extending to Pleistocene Egypt. Though commonly associated with cattle-following insectivory in modern populations, earlier classifications placed it among piscivorous waders. Subfossil material from Egypt documents its long presence in North Africa and provides context for understanding its natural range expansion across multiple continents.
Diet & Feeding
Bubulcus ibis was a fish-eating dinosaur. Piscivores typically lived near water sources and had specialized adaptations such as elongated snouts and conical teeth for catching fish.
