Fly like the wind, Southern Fulmar! This majestic seabird is on a mission in the vast Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica. With its silver-grey feathers glistening in the Southern Ocean, this adult fulmar glides effortlessly through the air, showcasing its impressive wingspan of 110-120 cm. Belonging to the true petrels family, Procellariidae, this bulky bird is known for its size and strength. The male weighs around 795 grams while his slightly smaller female counterpart tips the scales at 740 grams. These weights increase when they take turns incubating their precious eggs during shifts, reaching up to an astonishing 1049 and 932 grams respectively. Discovered by Scottish naturalist Andrew Smith back in 1840 at Cape of Good Hope, this species has flourished with a population of over four million individuals. Just imagine - one million pairs alone can be found nesting on the South Sandwich Islands! With such abundance and resilience, it's no wonder that Birdlife International classifies these magnificent creatures as Least Concerned regarding extinction risks.
