About These Birds
Great Cormorant
The great cormorant is one of the most widespread seabirds in the world. Unlike most waterbirds, cormorants lack fully waterproof plumage, leading to the iconic pose of standing with wings spread open to dry. In Asia, cormorants have been used by fishermen to catch fish for over a thousand years.
Cape Cormorant
南アフリカとナミビアの沿岸に生息するカワウの一種で、冷たいベンゲラ海流域に適応している。コロニーを形成して営巣し、魚を潜水して捕食する。
