Endemic to Madagascar, the extremely shy Madagascar crested ibis (Lophotibis cristata) is found in both the humid forests of northeastern Madagascar and the dry forests of the southern and western parts of the country. Also known as the white-winged ibis or crested wood ibis, it feeds in pairs or sometimes small groups, walking along the forest floor and probing for food with their long beak. However, it roosts and nests in trees.
