Storm petrels have a unique feeding technique. They skim the water's surface with their feet, creating a vortex that brings up food. They also dive, sometimes plunging deep below the surface, to hunt their prey.
These small seabirds play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem by helping to control populations of their prey.
