Parasitic Jaeger (Stercorarius parasiticus)
- HABITAT - The Parasitic Jaeger breeds in Northern Scandinavia, Scotland, Iceland, Greenland, Northern Canada, Alaska, and Siberia and winters across the southern hemisphere. They nest on dry tundra and islands.
- DIET - They will feed on rodents, insects, eggs, chicks and small birds in the breeding season, but the majority of its diet is made up of food that it gets by robbing other birds (primarily gulls and terns) of their catches.
- FACTS - The Parasitic Jaeger is also known as the Arctic Skua in Europe. They are actually "kleptoparasites," a term used to describe animals that steal their food from other animals.
