Vumatiti

Vumatiti ni ndege wakubwa wa nusufamilia Botaurinae na Tigrisomatinae katika familia ya Ardeidae ambao wana domo refu na nyembamba lakini shingo fupi kuliko spishi nyingine za familia hii. Hupinda shingo yao wakiruka angani. Ndege hawa wana rangi nyeupe, nyeusi na kahawia. Vumatiti hula samaki, amfibia na wadudu wa maji. Hizi ni spishi zinazojificha ndani ya uoto. Hujenga tago lao kwa matawi, manyasi na mimea ingine katikati ya matete au juu ya miti. Tago limefichika kwa kawaida.
