These birds are larger than the grey heron, with a length of 105-115 centimeters and a wingspan of 230-245 centimeters. Their feathers are mostly white, with black wingtips and some black feathers on the upper side of the tail. Great white herons feed on fish, turtles, and other small aquatic animals.
