Canada’s National Marine Conservation Areas System PlanIvory gull (Pagophila eburnea) © Parks Canada / Dorothea Kappler, 1995 Greek for 'ice loving', its scientific name aptly describes this ghostly white bird, one of the hardiest gulls in the world. It lives year-round amid the polar ice and snow and is rarely seen outside the Arctic. It is a bold and aggressive scavenger and feeds on anything it can find - fish, crustaceans and dead whales and seals, including polar bear kills. |
