| The Cape Gannet (Morus capensis, originally Sula capensis) is a large seabird of the gannet family, Sulidae. They are powerful fliers, using mainly a flap-gliding technique, which is more energy consuming than the dynamic-soaring favoured by albatrosses. The largest colony of this bird, with over 140,000 birds, is found on Malgas Island, South Africa. As all Sulids, they are fish-eating birds that plunge-dive from considerable height. |
