Two Truths, One Lie

Which fascinating fact is actually a fib?

1. Green herons are one of the only birds to use bait. They drop insects, feathers, and other objects in the water to lure fish into striking range.
2. From above, a green heron’s back blends in with leafy aquatic plants. From a fish’s perspective, the heron’s brown-streaked belly looks like cattails.
3. Compared to other herons, green herons have a tiny body. But their extra-long legs, which can reach up to 2 feet, help them wade into water like bigger-bodied birds.

Answer: #3 (A green heron’s legs are only a few inches long, not 2 feet.)
