To get food, the egret adapts by spearing its beak. The long feet assist it with staying afloat in deeper water and obtaining food with its keen, powerful beak! The egret also has excellent vision, allowing it to see through muddy water. Its legs are long and slender to avoid disturbing the water and causing the fish to flee. Furthermore, because their beaks are tiny, they do not have water resistance and may spear through the water.
