Marine Birds
Marine birds are avian species that are adapted to living and thriving in marine environments. These birds are commonly found along coastlines, islands, and open oceans, where they rely on marine resources for food and nesting sites. Marine birds have specialized physical adaptations for life at sea, such as waterproof feathers, webbed feet for swimming, and salt glands to excrete excess salt. They feed on a variety of marine organisms, including fish, squid, and crustaceans, and play important roles in marine ecosystems as predators and scavengers. Some common examples of marine birds include albatrosses, penguins, gulls, terns, and pelicans.
