About Antarctic Tern
Graceful seabirds with distinctive red bills and feet, Antarctic Terns breed on the Antarctic Peninsula and sub-Antarctic islands. They are skilled hunters, diving into the water to catch small fish and krill. They are closely related to the Arctic Tern, which makes the longest migration of any animal.
