The skua is a seabird that is native to arctic regions. Because there are about seven species of this bird with varying sizes, their weights can differ. Depending on its species, an adult skua can weigh between 11 ounces and 3.5 pounds.
There are no penguins in the Arctic. Most species are found in the Antarctic.
The Arctic Skua, a large seabird, has a life expectancy of 12-years. The bird, found in northern Scotland on the moorlands, only comes to land to breed. The aggressive birds seek out smaller seabirds, and steal the fish they have already caught.
A skua's food chain typically includes fish, squid, crustaceans, and even smaller birds or their eggs. Skuas are opportunistic feeders that scavenge for food and also hunt smaller prey in their habitat, such as the Arctic or coastal regions. They play a vital role in controlling populations of smaller marine species.
