Herons and allies (Ciconiiformes) The longest-bodied and tallest species in the order is probably the slender, towering saddle-billed stork of Africa (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis), which often exceeds 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall and has a wingspan of up to 2.7 m (8.9 ft).[40] Reaching a similar or slightly shorter height but more heavily built among the storks are the neotropical jabiru (Jabiru mycteria), the Asian greater adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius) and the African marabou stork (L. crumeniferus), all of which are believed to weigh up to 8 to 9 kg (18 to 20 lb). are either Oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana) 00–129 cm (0–51 in) long, 110–150 cm (43–59 in) tall, a weight of 2.8–5.9 kg (6.2–13.0 lb) and a wingspan of 2.22 m (7.3 ft).[11][41] The greater adjutant and marabou nearly equal the Andean condor in maximum wingspan.
