Fulmar
Bird Family
Fulmars belong to a bird family called 'Procellariidae' which includes petrels and shearwaters.

The fulmar we observed on the cliffs is a member of the Procellariidae family.
Habitat Understanding
Fulmars are generally found in cold seas; learners should associate them with Arctic or subarctic regions.

During our trip to the northern coasts, we spotted several fulmars gliding over the cold waters.
Physical Traits
Fulmars have a unique, tubenose structure which distinguishes them from similar seabirds.

You can identify a fulmar by its tube-like nostrils atop its beak.
