Storks are found in diverse habitats around the world,, primarily in Europe,, Asia,, and Africa. They thrive in wetlands,, marshes,, and along riverbanks,, where water is abundant and food is plentiful. These environments provide storks with the perfect conditions to hunt for fish,, frogs,, and other small animals. During the breeding season,, storks often build their nests in tall trees,, on cliffs,, or even on human-made structures like rooftops and utility poles. Their adaptability to different nesting sites has allowed them to live in close proximity to human settlements.

Storks have several adaptations that help them survive in their wetland habitats. Their long legs enable them to wade through shallow water,, and their long,, sharp beaks are perfect for catching prey. Additionally,, storks have a special throat pouch called a "gular pouch" that helps them cool down in hot weather by evaporating water. These adaptations,, combined with their migratory behavior,, allow storks to thrive in various environments across different continents.
