A seabird most notably found in the Galapagos Islands, is famous for their bright blue feet. Living entirely on fish, Blue Footed Boobies are excellent hunters and can be seen diving in groups into the water, looking like arrows being shot at the water. These birds are known to dive to depths up to 330 feet for their prey.
The Blue-footed Booby is a monogamous, yet their mating ritual is quite unique. Males try to impress females with their bright feet. The couple engage in a courtship dance stomping their bright blue feet, spreading their wings while pointing their beaks to the sky and honking loudly.
