@Inktober Day 04: Underwater Cormorán Imperial/ Imperial Shag (Phalacrocorax atriceps) The Imperial Shag (Leucocarbo atriceps or Phalacrocorax atriceps) is a species of bird suliforme of the family Phalacrocoracidae that populates the Antarctic coasts, and the southern end of the Patagonia. The diet of this species consists of small benthic fish, crustaceans, polychaetes, gastropods and octopuses. The average depth of diving for the populations of South America is about 25m. While for L. nivalis it is from 5m to 60m. Most feeding takes place in inshore regions, but at least some populations will travel some distance from the shore to fish. #inktober #inktober2017 #inktobermcbo #underwater #bird #aves #cormoran #shag #cormoranimperial #imperialshag #betosui
