A Northern Fulmar is a seabird that is found in the North Atlantic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean. They are relatives of the albatross and have a diet that consists mainly of fish and squid. Fulmars breed in colonies on cliffs, but will also nest on isolated offshore rocks. The chicks are able to fly within two weeks of hatching and will remain with their parents for up to a year. Northern Fulmars can live for up to 25 years.

Northern Fulmars are well known for their ability to vomit stomach oils when they are threatened. This helps to protect them from predators and can also be used to clean their feathers. Despite this defence mechanism, Northern Fulmars are still preyed upon by larger birds of prey, such as peregrine falcons.

Northern Fulmars are beautiful, graceful birds that are a joy to watch as they soar over the ocean. They are a vital part of the marine ecosystem and their presence indicates a healthy marine environment.
