About These Birds

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.

Common Diving-petrel

일반잠수제비는 남반구 아남극·온대 해역에 서식하는 가장 흔하고 널리 분포하는 잠수제비입니다. 날개로 수중 비행을 하여 크릴과 갑각류를 잡아먹습니다.
