COASTAL CREATURES

Blue-footed Boobies live in coastal areas in the tropical eastern Pacific (from the Gulf of California south to Peru) where their food and nesting grounds are highly accessible to them. They actively hunt for sea animals during the day and perch on rocks and other hard surfaces near the sea.

However, on rare occasions, they can also be found hunting in inland lakes.

In addition, despite their dauntless interaction with humans, their species continues to thrive because they build nests and breed in secluded ocean islands away from humans where they have very few natural predators on land or sea.
