Interactions With Other Species
The saddle billed storks
are known for their solitary, meaning that they prefer to be alone.
Thus you more often than not find them alone or in pairs with
their mate. There is little to no
connection to other species, except for the victims of the saddle billed storks empty
stomach. However, they are considered a nice feast by their
predators, crocodiles and many wild cats. They also are not immune
to nematodes, one example is Paronchocerca
ciconarum, or heartworms.
