Syrian Ibis

Wild Chronicles heads to Syria's Al Badia Desert, where a National Geographic researcher has made a startling discovery: the northern bald ibis, feared extinct in Syria for more than 70 years, has returned. But the small, fragile population in danger. Now, a dedicated team of scientists, Bedouins and former hunters are racing against time to help the "Arab phoenix" regain its place in the Syrian desert.

Oh wow, these are some of the coolest-looking birds I've ever seen! It's really sad that so few still exist in the wild, though...I"m hoping they can still make it :)

What a cool looking bird! I wonder if they make nice pets once their numbers become abundant? Would be cool to get that Arab Phoenix t-shirt too!
