fulmar
Arctic ocean bird
A fulmar is a gray-and-white seabird of northern oceans, resembling a gull but belonging to the petrel family.
Fulmars are tube-nosed birds that glide stiffly on outstretched wings and nest on sea cliffs.
When threatened, they defend themselves by spitting foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders.
