#Giant Petrel

[arminreindl]

Relatively brief post because I imagine people won't care much about this one (nor is there that much to talk about). But newly described from the Pliocene of New Zealand we have Macronectes tinae, which we might as well call Tina's Giant Petrel. Known from a really well preserved skull and a partial humerus, Tina's Giant Petrel is a species of giant petrel, but notably smaller and less robust than the modern species, like these ones.

There might be two reasons why its smaller. One is simple really. Giant petrels stand out amongst their relatives for being ridiculously big, while all their closest kin are pretty small. So logically, an older, more basal giant petrel is expected to be smaller. The authors also speculate that living in warmer waters is another factor, but modern petrel ranges are huge so that hypothesis is less solid.

Even if it was smaller, Tina's Giant Petrel still lived a life that was likely similar to its modern relatives. Meaning it was an absolute beast of a bird. Modern petrels are well known to scavenge near seal colonies and penguing colonies, mob other birds, steal and eat the chicks of other sea birds and also hunt for fish, squid and crustaceans. Google "giant petrel" and expect to be greeted by birds either absolutely tearing apart carcasses or being covered in blood. Petrels look pretty metal. As it so happens, Tina's Giant Petrel was found in a formation that is in no short supply of potential prey. Eomonachus, a monk seal (illustrated by seal king Jaime Bran), Eudyptes atatu, a penguin (illustrated by  Simone Giovanardi), Aldiomedes angustirostris, an albatross, various petrels and an undescribed species of pseudo-tooth bird (skull illustration by Jaime Headden) all would have given the extinct petrel a lot of options.

The paper also provides an illustration of the bird itself. Notably the artist, Simone Giovanardi who previously illustrated the penguins up above, decided to give this species darker plumage, reasoning that petrels in warmer waters tend to be darker than their relatives in the colder waters further south. The illustration shows it feeding on the carcass of a seal, probably the local Eomonachus.

VERSUS

Giant Petrel (genus Macronectes)

They’re very violent hyper aggressive predatory birds that will kill a seal and dance on its dead body (this is called sealmaster posture) to show everybody else that nobody can do what this bird can do. They love to batter and drown other birds to death—including albatrosses! They’re often dyed red with the blood of their enemies. There is something wrong with them.

Animal of the Day!

Southern Giant Petrel (Macronectes giganteus)

(Photo by Brian Sullivan)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Antarctica; Africa; Australia; Chile

Size (Weight/Length)- 99 cm; 205 cm wingspan

Diet- Squid; Krill; Carrion; Penguins; Seals

Cool Facts- Southern giant petrels are possibly the most malicious birds in the history of ever. While mostly eating squid and fish, they will not turn their beak up at a helpless seal pup or penguin. Graphic warning, the animals are often eaten alive. Yeah, nature isn’t always pretty. They are also known for holding down smaller birds like black-browed albatross and gannets underwater to drown them. Despite the horrors, Southern giant petrels are monogamous and are extremely protective of their chicks.

Rating- 9/10 (They’re called stinkers too.)

TOP FIVE: Apex Predators

Woohoohoo thank you for the ask! (Fun fact: I wanted to be a zoologist as a kid! Although I don’t want to do that anymore, I still love animals, so this ask delighted me.)

First has to be the great white shark. I love sharks and had many books about them as a kid. They strike much fear into me but in the best way possible. I have so much respect for this majestic marine beast.

The crocodile comes in second bc it is the predator of the hippo. I don’t hate hippos, I just hate that they can get away with murder just bc people think they look cute. Crocodiles put hippos in their place, and for that I’ve got to stan.

The Tasmanian Devil! I learned about these guys in an episode of Wild Kratts as a kid and have been in love ever since. They guys are cute, but they could rip you to shreds and it’s great. I love my widdle murder puppers!

Giant Petrel. I love birds, so I gotta have a bird on this list. And I can get behind some bird on bird violence, their bloodlust is part of the reason I like birds so much.

Finally, I had to decide between the tiger and the snow leopard. I decided by thinking of Tigress vs Tai Lung from King Fu Panda. I know Tai Lung beat Tigress, but I still love my kung fu girl boss more, so tiger wins! Plus they are so beautiful, ok! One of my favorite animal prints.

Thank you so much for the ask! This was a blast!

damn i love frigatebirds!!! they have such cool silhouettes, with their long wings and forked tails, and they have an exquisite glossy sheen on their back feathers....give my compliments to evolution, she really knows how to make a good bird

they have reputations for being pirates, and are very agile considering their size! however food stealing is only a supplement and doesn't usually form a large part of their diet. they have a particular taste for flying fish!

frigates also sleep on the wing and can also go up to 4000 ft high if need be which i think is insane! raising a chick takes so long that they mostly just breed every other year. also two species, christmas island and ascension island frigatebirds, only breed on one small island each - those two species are also endangered :((

#contact call #saw a stupid youtube comment a while back calling them evil and i'm still mad about it so i made this post lol #i am the world's biggest defender of hated seabirds (gulls / skuas / frigatebirds / giant petrels)

SEMIFINALS

Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin)

Their chicks have little fingers and claws on their wings for climbing. Also, they produce bacteria in their weird enlarged crops that are ONLY found in there. Their crops are so big that they don’t really fly. They smell like manure. They’re like if cows were birds if cows had claws and were super colorful.

VERSUS

Giant Petrel (genus Macronectes)

They’re very violent hyper aggressive predatory birds that will kill a seal and dance on its dead body (this is called sealmaster posture) to show everybody else that nobody can do what this bird can do.

I’m currently foaming at the mouth for some Karou Emperor Penguin Harpy x Adelie Penguin Harpy Reader Headcannons (I watched that video and it was absolutely cute, especially the babies, I love baby animals 🥹🥰)

Please feed us Seymour (If you don’t get that reference, it’s 1986 Little Shop of Horrors)

I’m currently giggling and kicking my feet thinking about Child Kaoru as a Baby Penguin 🤭

I feel like my harpy (and fantasy Au’s in general) fascinates the masses. So I can write them real quick.

Yandere Baki Head Canon

Hanayama Kaoru x Older! Reader (Harpy AU)

……………………………………….

Emperor Penguin Hanayama

He was a foolish young chick. He wandered off a lot and picked fights with other penguins since he was much larger than the others, which left him to be respected and feared among his peers

A shame he thought he could take on a giant petrel alone. The older harpy left him covered in deep wounds and probably would have ended his life if you hadn’t appeared… a small Adélie penguin. You fearlessly threw your small body between the petrel and him, which in turn made the petrel flee (no harpy in these frozen wastelands would take on an adelie)

When you turned to check on him, it’s the first time Kaoru ever felt his heart flutter. You were his savior… his future mate. You must care about him if you stepped in to save his life!

Hanayama revels in your care as you assist him back to his colony. He snuggles his body close to yours as you usher him back. He is practically glued to your side

Hanayama won’t let a single penguin insult you for your arrival. Nor will he let anyone try to take you as their mate. He’s decided you’re going to be his

Hanayama chases away all competition and he’s even willing to fight to stay by your side. He doesn’t care that he’s younger. He doesn’t care that you don’t see him as more than just a little sibling, he won’t mate unless it’s with you

The older he gets, there’s no questioning how massive he is compared to the others. He’s intimidating with his various scars. Some from the petrel and others from various battles he’s been in (such as fighting off a rival colony that killed his father). Hanayama is not to be trifled with

And he forced you to stay in his colony with his own power and the various members of his colony. You’re referred to as “the boss’s wife.”

Expect to be dazzled with various pebbles and shells. Hanayama hunts the biggest fish for you and he’s made you the most brilliant of nests. He only collects the very best for you. The size difference doesn’t matter to him

You’re at a point in your life where you know you need to mate or you’ll end up without chicks… so you have no choice but to accept Hanayama’s overbearing affection. He’s practically over the moon when you say yes

Expect him to be with you as much as he physically can. He will be the very best mate and he would never leave you for another… after all, he knows adelies mate for life

I would like to offer this resource for therians, an extensive list of all of Sir David Attenborough’s nature documentaries that are available on soap2day, and a full list of what species* they each (notably, prominently) feature the natural behaviors of, separated by episode, and omitting species that were only shown dead, juvenile or being predated on. This took me a while (I have been working on it since Prehistoric Planet’s release) because I did in fact have to watch every single series in full in order to list all the species and the episodes are around 50 minutes long, but enjoy.

Long post ahead:

Most of these shows have closed captioning, which is why I’ve picked soap2day. Planet Earth is the only one that doesn’t. I did not include Dynasties and Dynasties II because each episode only features one species.

Thank you to Birch (@ambiguousmutt​) for his help (he watched about half of the episodes) so I didn’t have to do it individually. Credit goes to him as well.

*Sometimes Attenborough doesn’t say the specific species and I was too busy trying to get through the episodes to identify it. In those cases I just put the most specific name I could.
