Habitat:
This marine species occurs in both pelagic and inshore waters. Its diet comprises mostly of crustaceans but fish, squid and molluscs are also taken. Breeding occurs in colonies starting in October, nesting on coastal cliffs and boulder slopes in rock crevices and cracks (del Hoyo et al. 1992).
Range:
The Fulmar Prion is pelagic and stays over the southern oceans close to colonies. When breeding they will come ashore, and nest on Heard Island (Australia) in the south Indian Ocean, as well as the Auckland Islands, Chatham Islands, Bounty Island and Snares Island off the coast of New Zealand.
