In the same place lives a creature with long legs (4)

I have a feeling this is IBIS, but can’t work out why.

Anyone able to help ?

I had trouble with this, but it seem "IB" is an accepted abbreviation for 'Ibidem' (In the same place) + IS (Lives)

Yes, this is correct,
"ibid" is the more common abbreviation for "ibidem", but "ib" is also used.
This is given in Collins.
