<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="creagrus-furcatus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Creagrus furcatus, the swallow-tailed gull, is a uniquely nocturnal seagull (Laridae) endemic to the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, with non-breeding dispersal along South American coasts. Weighing about 300 g, it feeds nocturnally on fish and squid attracted to the ocean surface by moonlight. Its distinctive forked tail and red eye-ring are adaptations to its unusual nocturnal pelagic lifestyle. Subfossil material from Ecuador documents its Quaternary presence on Pacific coastal South America.
Diet & Feeding
Creagrus furcatus was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.
