Frigate birds in flight
Frigate birds in flight. Group of frigate birds (Fregata sp.) in flight. Frigates are found over tropical seas. They have the largest wingspan (up to 2.25 metres) in proportion to their body weight (up to 1.8 kilograms) of any bird. Frigates often steal food from other birds on the wing, but they also hunt for fish, young turtles, squid and young seabirds

This print showcases the awe-inspiring sight of frigate birds in flight. A group of these magnificent creatures, known as Frigata sp. , gracefully soar through the sky against a backdrop of tropical seas. With their impressive wingspan measuring up to 2.25 meters, frigate birds hold the record for having the largest wingspan-to-body weight ratio among all bird species. These skilled hunters are not only notorious for their ability to steal food from other birds mid-flight but also demonstrate their prowess by hunting fish, young turtles, squid, and even young seabirds. Their predatory nature is beautifully captured in this image. The intricate details captured by Science Photo Library allow us to marvel at the biological wonders exhibited by these sea birds. The photograph provides a glimpse into their vibrant world while highlighting their significance in zoology and ornithology studies. As we observe this breathtaking scene unfold before our eyes, it serves as a reminder of the diverse fauna that inhabits our planet's ecosystems. This print is an invitation to appreciate and protect these remarkable creatures who play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance within our oceans.
