這個可愛的生物叫 " blue-footed booby "(藍腳鰹鳥)




The name "booby" comes from the Spanish word "bobo", which means clumsy, fool, or clown.
" booby " 這個名字來自西班牙文的 " bobo ",是「笨拙」、「傻瓜」、「丑角」的意思

They are a sea bird, so they do not usually spend much time on land. Because they are so clumsy on land, they are easily captured and killed by humans.
「藍腳鰹鳥」是一種海鳥,牠們通常不會在陸地上待太久,因為牠們在陸地上的行動相當笨拙,很容易就會被捕捉而有生命危險

Females tend to have brighter feet than males and young birds. If a female misses a breeding season, her feet will be even brighter to attract a mate.
