More About Boobies ...
|
"The boobies are part of the family Sulidae. This is a group of seabirds, which is closely related to the gannets".
The boobies are large birds with long pointed wings and long bills. They hunt fish by diving from a height into the sea and pursuing their prey underwater. They have facial air sacs under their skin which cushion the impact with the water.
