About These Birds
Kormoran
Der Kormoran ist einer der am weitesten verbreiteten Seevögel der Welt. Anders als die meisten Wasservögel besitzt der Kormoran kein vollständig wasserabweisendes Gefieder, was zu seiner typischen Haltung mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln zum Trocknen führt. In Asien setzen Fischer Kormorane seit über tausend Jahren zum Fischfang ein.
Bank Cormorant
76 cm. Dark sooty-brown; bare-faced; yellow at gape. Endemic to South Africa and Namibia coast; Near Threatened. Breeds on rocky islands and coastal cliffs. Feeds on fish in the cold Benguela upwelling. Does not venture far from breeding colonies; very restricted coastal range.
