A rare fascinating species
Flightless Cormorants are unique on these islands. They are the only species of Cormorants in Galápagos and also the only one to become flightless because of its evolution. This animal is usually found on the shorelines and beaches of Isabela and Fernandina. Moreover, Flightless Cormorants have stubby, not well developed wings. The Flightless Cormorant breeds all year, however the majority of eggs are deposited between May and October. Breeding partners engage in a bizarre and unusual wooing dance in which they intertwine their necks while rotating in a tight circle. Cormorants make nests composed of seaweed close above the high water level on protected rocky coasts, allowing them the shortest trek down to the sea to eat.
