About South Polar Skua

Aggressive predators and scavengers, South Polar Skuas are known for stealing food from other birds and preying on penguin eggs and chicks. They breed on the Antarctic continent and migrate to the Northern Hemisphere during the Antarctic winter, making one of the longest migrations of any bird.
