The Limpkin in Dogs Cats & Marine Animal Directory

    

Learn where they live, what they eat, how they build their nests, and why they are very endangered some areas. An unusual bird of southern swamps and marshes, the Limpkin reaches the northern limits of its breeding range in Florida. There, it feeds almost exclusively on apple snails, which it extracts from their shells with its long bill. Its screaming cry is unmistakable and evocative.
