Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori) stopping traffic in Kruger National Park. This African native may be the heaviest bird able to fly. Ten bustard species occur in South Africa. They have polygamous breeding habits with the male displaying to and mating with several females. Each female is then left to build a nest on the ground, incubate the eggs and care for the chicks by herself.
