Antarctic fulmars surface feed or make occasional shallow dives to seize krill, squid or fish. To defend their nest sites, they squirt the liquid contents of their stomach at intruders. The birds are found near the coast in vast breeding colonies of up to half a million breeding pairs. A bright red bill and legs, angular wings and a forked tail make this gregarious species one of the most unusual Antarctic sea birds. A remarkable flier, the Antarctic tern is often sighted as far north as South America and South Africa.
Antarctic terns live on fish and krill that they catch on the surface or by diving into the ocean.
