Leptoptilos titan

Leptoptilos titan is a species of adjutant-like stork that lived in Watualang, East Java during the Middle-Upper Pleistocene epoch. It remains mainly consist of a nearly complete left metatarsus that measure around 372 mm in length. Compared to largest marabou stork metatarsus specimen, it can be inferred that L. titan was a very tall stork. Only L. falconeri from Africa and South Asia that have longer metatarsi. Meanwhile, the more famous L. robustus have shorter metatarsi based on the more recently found specimen (LB-Av-2476) that is 10 mm shorter but have larger shaft dimension than those of L. titan.
