A Kori bustard (Ardeotis kori) looking up. In its native Africa, the bird is known as "Gompou", the "gum-eating bird" for its habit of snacking on the gum-like sap of acacia trees. The sap is high in protein, and occasionally fortified with beetles, flies, or other insects caught in the goo.Galleries:Bustards, Eyes, National Zoological ParkKeywords:ardeotis, bird, bustard, district of columbia, fauna, gompou, kori, kori bustard, national zoological park, washington dc, zooPhoto Location: National Zoological Park, Washington DCPhotographer: Chad CullenDate of Photo: 06/26/2009Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5DExposure Time: 1/400F Number: 56/10Original Dimensions: 4368×2912Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 38°55'46.53"N 77°2'57.30"WPicture Number: 8251
