These animals, properly Thalassoica antarctica, breed on Antarctic islands which are warmer than the continent. Their food chain is in the sea.

Their anatomies are special and adapted to their environments. For example, their stomachs excrete an oil that they can spray through their beaks at predators. As well, salt glands in their noses help de-desalinate their bodies from the sea water where they live.
