Meet The Rare Oceanic Seabird That Flies To A Storm To Find A Snack
In the midst of a powerful storm, most seabirds would avoid the turbulent waters and strong winds. Not so for the Desertas petrel, a rare oceanic bird that has evolved to thrive in the chaos of cyclones. In fact, this remarkable species not only tolerates storms but actively seeks them out as a means of finding sustenance.
Recent research conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHO) has uncovered the astonishing behavior of these birds, which fly towards cyclones and then linger in their aftermath to feed on the abundance of prey that the storm has brought to the surface.
