Frigatebird (Magnificent)


The Frigatebird is a large species of sea-bird that has an enormous wingspan exceeding two meters in length. Males are most commonly known for their red throat pouch, which are inflated to attract females during the mating season.
Frigatebirds are sea-birds and have a meat-based carnivorous diet, primarily fish including flying fish, and crustaceans, and even small sea turtles.

the Frigatebird is unable to walk that well and cannot swim. Frigatebirds have to pluck their prey from the water without landing as they are unable to take-off from a flat surface such as water.
