The Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) is a large and graceful seabird known for its striking white plumage, black-tipped wings, and remarkable diving skills. Found along the coasts of the North Atlantic, these birds nest in large colonies on rocky cliffs and isolated islands.
Northern Gannets are expert hunters, plunging from heights of up to 40 meters (130 feet) into the ocean to catch fish. Their streamlined bodies and specially adapted air sacs help cushion the impact as they hit the water at high speeds. They primarily feed on small fish like herring and mackerel, which they catch with incredible precision.
These birds are monogamous and return to the same breeding sites each year. Despite facing threats such as overfishing and climate change, conservation efforts have helped protect their populations. With their breathtaking aerial dives and strong social bonds, Northern Gannets remain one of the most fascinating seabirds of the northern oceans.
