Definition von fulmar im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

Either of two species of pelagic seabird, Fulmarus glacialis and F. glacialoides, which breed on cliffs

Among the well-known species are the arctic fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) (called also fulmar petrel, malduck, and mollemock), and the giant fulmar (Ossifraga gigantea)

One of several species of sea birds, of the family Procellariidæ, allied to the albatrosses and petrels

Any of several species of gull-like oceanic birds in the family Procellariidae. The northern fulmar (Fulmaris glacialis) ranges from temperate to Arctic waters, and the southern fulmar (F. glacialoides) from temperate to Antarctic waters. The much larger giant fulmar, or giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus), is 3 ft (90 cm) long and has a wingspan of more than 6.5 ft (200 cm). It nests around the Antarctic Circle. Fulmars eat almost anything; their natural foods are small fish, squid, and crustaceans, but they often take ships' garbage and will come ashore for carrion. They fly low over the waves of the open ocean, thus resembling their narrower-winged relatives, the shearwaters, in flight

heavy short-tailed oceanic bird of polar regions

{i} heavy and short-tailed oceanic bird of the petrel family
