Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frigatebirds are known for their ability to soar for hours on end over the sea. They lack the oil-producing gland that most birds have to waterproof their feathers, which is why they avoid diving into the water and instead snatch prey from the ocean surface or pursue other birds to steal their catch.
