おもしろい事実

These birds build nests in trees over water, sometimes in huge colonies!

They use their strong, hooked bill like a spear to catch slippery fish!

They're sometimes called 'water turkeys' due to their long necks and tails!

Unlike most birds, their feathers get wet on purpose to help them dive!

特殊能力

能力

Underwater Eyesight

Neotropic Cormorant can see clearly underwater because its eyes adapt to the water's refractive index.

能力

Efficient Subaquatic Propulsion

Neotropic Cormorant has large, webbed feet positioned far back on its body that helps them swiftly propel through water.

能力

Reduced Buoyancy Dive

Neotropic Cormorant has less preen oil than other water birds, allowing its feathers to get wet, reducing buoyancy to dive deeper.

能力

Solar Feather Drying

Neotropic Cormorant can spread its wings wide to dry its semi-permeable feathers in the sun, restoring insulation and flight.
