Cormorants
Cormorants are interesting creatures.
Cormorants have webbed feet. Cormorants will dive under water to catch
food. Cormorants are related to brown pelicans. They have long powerful
beaks with a hook on the end. Cormorants have feathered bodies, long necks,
and flat heads.
Cormorants have orange throats. Cormorants
look for fish while swimming on the water’s surface. When they sight a
fish they dive under the water to catch it.
In China people put a ring around
the cormorant’s neck so the bird can’t swallow the fish it catches. They
will also put it on a leash so it won’t escape. Cormorant will instead
bring the fish to its owner. That is what we learned about cormorants.
