cormorant

Most of the Cormorant's time is spent in fishing, for he lives entirely on fish, and catches immense numbers of them.

This habit seems to show that the Cormorant uses his wings, as well as his feet, in his frequent journeys under water.

Sometimes the Cormorant swims slowly along with his head under water, on the watch for small fish.

The Cormorant could not perform this feat, but his throat will stretch so as to allow the passage of large fish.

In some countries there is a price on his head--that is, so much money is given for every Cormorant killed.
