About These Birds
Common Myna
인도찌르레기는 세계 100대 최악의 침입 종 중 하나로 지정될 만큼 적응력이 뛰어난 조류다. 갈색 몸통과 검은 머리, 눈 주위의 노란 피부가 특징적이며 세계적으로 많은 지역에서 번성하고 있다.
Northern Fulmar
The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
