The common '''Cormorant''' (''Phalacrocorax cabro'') is a [[sea]] [[bird]]. Although it is related to [[gull]]s and [[fulmar]]s, its closest known relative is the [[pelican]]. It is often confused with the [[Shag|shag]]. The cormorant is well known for its habit of hanging out its wings to dry. This is because its [[Plumage|plumage]] is not particularly waterproof, as it lacks the necessary preen gland that most birds have. Cormorants eat fish and also hunt inland, where they have been known to catch [[frog]]s and other [[amphibian]]s. Cormorants are serious pests in fisheries, and there is often a bounty on their heads, leading fishermen to kill them in large numbers.
