Lava Gull

Lava Gull

Lava Gull Overview

A unique gull species endemic to the Galapagos Islands. This species typically never travelers inland, nor too far out to sea, rather spending most of the time close to the shore. This species has 1,000 individuals or less, the lowest population of any gull species in the world, and a low number for any species. Despite this, it is distributed across the islands and visitors have a high liklihood of witnessing the species.
