"fulmar"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "fulmar"?

A fulmar is a seabird characterized by its streamlined body and long, slender wings. It has a thick, stout bill with a tube-like structure on top that allows it to excrete excess salt, earning it the nickname "tube-nose." With a wingspan of around four feet, the fulmar soars effortlessly over the ocean, using the updrafts to its advantage. It has a predominantly white body with gray wings and a pale yellow bill. Fulmars are highly adapted to live at sea, feeding on fish, squid, and other marine creatures. They are known for their strong flight and their ability to navigate through stormy weather with ease. Found in the northern oceans, including the Atlantic and the Arctic, fulmars are skilled and resilient marine birds that have mastered the challenges of the open sea.
