frigate bird
A frigate bird, or Fregatidae, is a family of seabirds found across all tropical and subtropical oceans. They are large, with iridescent black feathers, long, deeply forked tails and long hooked bills. Males have a distinctive red, balloon-like throat pouch which they inflate during the breeding season to attract females. They are known for their fast and agile flying abilities, often stealing food from other birds mid-flight, a behavior known as kleptoparasitism. They also have the ability to stay in the air for days at a time without landing. They have exceptional wingspans, making them aerodynamically efficient and capable of using the heat thermals to ascend to high altitudes.
