Animal of The Week #3

This week's Animal of The Week is . . .
The Blue-Footed Booby!

                           The name booby comes from the Spanish term "bobo" which means "stupid, fool, or clown." This is because the Blue-Footed Booby is a very clumsy on the land.
                           Male Blue-Footed Booby's dance with their blue feet to impress the female Blue-Footed Booby. During the dance, it spreads it's long wings and stomps it's feet on the ground.
                          The boobies live in the Western coast of South America. They mostly feed on: anchovies, flying fish, mackerel, sardines, and squid.
                                              I hope you enjoyed a quick review of the Blue-Footed Booby! Please enjoy a few pictures below!
