Snail Kite- Rostrhamus sociabilis-Gavião caramujeiro - Pantanal, Brazil. ⭐️
The snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis) is a bird of prey within the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles, hawks, and Old World vultures.
🌎 The snail kite breeds in tropical South America, the Caribbean, and central and southern Florida in the United States.
🐌 This is a gregarious bird of freshwater wetlands, forming large winter roosts. Its diet consists almost exclusively of apple snails, especially the species Pomacea paludosa in Florida, and species of the genus Marisa.
🐌 Snails Are a Good Source of Protein
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (via SFGate Healthy Eating), one 3-ounce serving of snail meat contains 14 grams of protein and just 75 calories. Next time you’re in need of some post-workout recovery, look no further than a healthy serving of snails. Escargots anyone? ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Snails are considered edible in many areas such as the Mediterranean region, Africa, or Southeast Asia, while in other cultures, snails are seen as a taboo food.
