		Woolly-necked Storks are often attracted to bush fires, where they snatch up large insects and small vertebrates escaping the flames; it is not uncommon to see them feeding in this way alongside European White Storks and Abdim's Storks.
		Most stork species are specialised fish eaters, and some possess a unique trigger mechanism which allows them to snap their bill shut in 0.025 seconds (one of the fastest reaction times recorded for any vertebrate).
		In fact, recent analysis supports the view that the closest relatives of storks are the condors and other New World vultures (in addition to skeletal similarities which suggest a common ancestor, both groups of birds share the habit of defecating onto their legs as a cooling mechanism).
