Chilean Skua
While nowhere near the size of birds such as the Wandering Albatross, the Chilean Skua makes up for it in sheer aggression towards other birds. Chilean Skuas have been known to fly in large groups and hunt other seabirds. They also eat offal, rodents and carrion.

The Chilean Skua (Stercorarius chilensis) is a large predatory seabird, which breeds in Argentina and Chile, but ranges as far north as Brazil and Peru when not breeding. A relatively distinctive skua, it has a dark cap that contrasts with its cinnamon throat and lower face. Hybrids with the Brown Skua are known from southern Argentina.

While other skuas plunder the kills of smaller seabirds for food, this avaricious bird seems not to care about the food, but instead enjoys the act of harassing the smaller gull. More
