About These Birds
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
最大型猫头鹰之一。翼展近2米。低沉的鸣声可传至4千米外。顶级掠食者。
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.
