What is a Northern Fulmar?
The northern fulmar is a seabird that looks a bit like a small gull, but it's actually a close relative of albatrosses. These birds live in cold ocean regions of the North Atlantic and North Pacific. They glide for hours over the sea using stiff wings and strong wind currents. Fulmars nest on steep cliffs and lay just one egg at a time. They feed on fish, squid, and shrimp, and are known for their excellent sense of smell, which helps them find food in the vast ocean. Fulmars can live for more than 30 years and are tough birds, even in stormy weather.
