Flightless Cormorant
89–100 cm. Dark brown; vestigial wings unsuited for flight; bright turquoise eyes. Endemic to Galapagos Islands (Fernandina and Isabela). Only flightless cormorant; Vulnerable with about 1,000 pairs. Feeds on fish and octopus by diving near shore; no natural land predators historically.
