Have you wondered why a bird that dives for fish for a living has feathers that get waterlogged so it can’t fly? It doesn’t make any sense or does it? A cormorant’s lack of preening oil – which makes water run off a duck’s back – makes them speedy underwater and better at fishing.
Very neat fact, I’ll show this to my grandson!
